Places we love to eat in Ptown.

We enjoy going out for dinner while in Provincetown.

Ptown has some wonderful restaurants and it's always the

question of the day, as to where we are going to eat that night.

Everyone will have their favourites and here are ours.

Click on the name of each restaurant to have a look

at their own websites.

The Mews We ate here twice this year and our favorite dish is

of small plates to share.

is fine and watch the world go by -The Cali Burgers are delicious


Ross' Grill
Located within the Whalers Wharf complex with great view of
the harbour.

Jimmy's Hideaway
Now in its 3rd Year this cosy restaurant has a wonderful menu

Beam on down to Ptown

As you know from a previous post, I am a Star Trek

fan and thought the new movie was fantastic.

So I thought it would be fun, while on holiday to buy a

Mr Spock figure and take some pictures of him in a few

locations.

At The Pilgrim Monument

Along Commercial St

Live Long and Prosper

Monument in the mist

As we mentioned in a previous post the weather was not

too good during our recent visit to Provincetown. Sometimes

we were unable to see the Pilgrim Monument due to mist.

The Monument was built between 1907 and 1910 to

commemorate the first landfall of the Pilgrims in 1620

and the signing in Provincetown harbour

of the Mayflower Compact.

Playing with the cameras firework mode -

This picture looks like it has laser beams

and this one has a spiral effect

Ptown in bloom

The people of Provincetown love their gardens, and early

Summer is a great time to visit, and see them in full bloom.

We saw lots of these flowering trees on The Cape ( if anyone knows

what its called, please leave a comment )

Alliums

Honeysuckle

We love the colour of these roses against the grey background

rose with raindrops at The Oxford

The Oxford always has a spectacular display of Foxgloves

Tales from Provincetown

As I mentioned on Friday we have just returned from holiday on
Cape Cod. We stayed with our good friends Stephen and Trevor at
The Oxford in Provincetown. We always have wonderful time filled
with love and laughter, and each year it gets harder to leave special
friends and a very special place. Unfortunately this year we were
unlucky with the weather, in fact the Cape has seen only 3 days of
sun this June. However the weather did not spoil our enjoyment
and we made the most of our time on the Cape.

We always pick up a hire car in Boston and make the drive down

to Provincetown, part of the holiday. We feel we have arrived when

we reach the rotary at Orleans. We had a problem with the first car

and had to turn back, due to the inconvenience we were upgraded

to this rather swish Volvo convertable that David fell in love with and

wanted to bring home.

We will be blogging more about our time in Provincetown over

the next few days, but here are some more pictures for starters.
