SOAKING IT IN

This vacation happened just in time. It was long overdue after what seemed like years of the pandemic. While I had escaped to P-town during the pandemic, and it was nice, it was just way to quiet. So, it was nice to see Provincetown back into its packed glory again, with regular debauchery and shenanigans. It' just wouldn't be summer without a visit to this little lovely spigot of land with his campy residents, fun filled tea dances, its fabulous drag queens and all the award-winning fudge shops. The Dick Dock was even swinging. Or so I saw heard. My self and the Lad were present along with two others of the clan, for a great trip. Pearly even caught up with us when not working. His new place is so adorable. While it was nice to hit the town and bars most nights, with starting a new job shortly, I really wanted this trip to be more relaxing in the day...and it was. I took my morning coffee in the courtyard of the Gaslight Inn, hit Herring Cove Beach several times from morning till night, and I always enjoy and recommend the whale watch. If it is drag you fancy, then by damned, this is the town for you. I swear every queen, their drag mother and daughter have a show or residency here this summer. But while some drag race queens are there for the summer like Jinx, Mix Cracker, Tina Burner, Ginger Minj, Latrice and Tammie Brown,it the tried-and-true legends you'll see here. Dina Martina, Miss Richfield, Thirsty Burlington, Varla Jean Merman, Edie, who hasn't had a residency there in 20 years or more and is amazing, Randy Roberts, Jackie Beat...and one has to check out Pearl and the girls' at the Illusions Drag Show at the Crown and Anchor. I can definitely see myself retiring at a shore point one day. Just something so much alive, but yet relaxing, and rejuvenating about being by the ocean. I always feel so damn relaxed when I get back and my skin feels so nice and soft while there also. It's either the sand and sea, or the gin, I'm not sure which. Now it is ll about getting myself centered to start a new job next week, and get caught up with blogs, I feel like I have been gone forever, and I have to get laundry done. You know how long that will take with all those square cuts???

Beach cakes!

You knew I find a nice spot to lay au natural. Technically not a nude beach, but we found a nice, secluded spot.

The whale watch is always a must with me. I mean how close can, and will you ever get to these intelligent and majestic creatures? For their size it is truly amazing to watch them swim and breach three and four right in synch together. Some pods of whales were even sprinkled with schools of dolphins. I wondered if maybe my tuna and mackerel scented cologne, Diving Buddy, was attracting them???

On the last night we were having dinner and drinks at the Red Inn, and the view and sky couldn't have been more stunning for out next day send off. One highlight of the trip was seeing Kasha Davis, Raja and Milk at the Boat Slip for tea dance our first weekend. We rolled into town during Bear Week and left in Family Week. Family as in Queens!!! 

More of the trip later...time to get the sand out of the cracks.

Who's helping???
