How Far is the Cape?

The perspective people have over distance has puzzled me for years. A friend in the northern suburbs of Chicago would often have no issue going to the supermarket 45 minutes from her house or driving hours just to meet up with friends in another midwestern state.

Conversely, if those of us in Boston are presented with the 'challenge' of going to Somerville, Hingham, Dedham or even Portsmouth, we balk more violently than a child at vaccination time.

That being said, I wanted to share with you some photos of a quick adventure Gretchen and I took yesterday. We went ALL THE WAY to the Cape. Yesirreebob. And whilst on this peninsula (or is it an island as it is broken off by a waterway), we traveled to the very tip - Provincetown.

Enjoy the photos of our adventure. And next time somebody says "come to a tweetup in Quincy," think about how much of a hardship that 19-minute drive will be from your cushy, oddly provincial studio in the city.
