chasing rabbits stateside

That evening we ate out, enjoyed a few cocktails and explored Provincetown, a very quaint town that is as pretty as it looks on postcards. It is also remarkably gay. It was like walking onto a film set for the latest queer flick. A particular sort of gay man was in the majority and it wasn’t until a couple of days later that we saw the posters and discovered that it was ‘Bear week’ !! A lot of hair and proudly displayed rounded stomachs were in ‘P Town’ that week. It had a lovely friendly fun feel to the place.

The following day we headed out to sea and went whale watching, what a fabulous experience. I didn’t think I’d get particularly excited but I turned into a 12 year old girl!!!!! I shouted and yelped along with everyone else when a whale came into a view, and there were so many of them circling us and coming to the surface. We were told what to look for (huge numbers of birds hovering just above the water, clouds of water as they ‘blow’ or whatever its called). They seemed to spend an equal amount of time on either side of the boat, on the one hand giving everyone the chance to take photos, on the other being so quick that you got the occasional blur on your screen. I have one or two half decent shots but nothing fabulous, but who cares, I had a blast.
