A Wicked Good Time

We've all heard or used "wicked" to mean "extraordinary" or "cool." But we learned from our Cape Cod friends Sally and Mike that it's used more around here than most places. As evidenced by establishments like the Wicked Oyster, the Wicked Bar and the Wicked local newspapers.

Suffice it to say that our time near the westernmost and easternmost points in the 48 states was wicked good.

We spent our next-to-last day of vacation in the wonderful town of Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod, strolling, window shopping at the art galleries, watching the annual Portuguese Day parade, and climbing the Pilgrim Monument for a 360 of the town and the region.

Back in Wellfleet that evening, our last vacation dinner was at the wicked Terra Luna restaurant in Truro, where Sally and Mike's son William is honing his considerable culinary skills over the summer. The stars of the evening were the bluefish and the shrimp cake, accompanied by a delicious Sancerre.

On Sunday morning, we were up early, caught the Flex bus back to Provincetown for the ferry to downtown Boston. With nearly three hours to kill before our flight back to L.A., we stashed our luggage at the Marriott and headed for the North End.

Our timing was incredible, as we were able to get a window seat at the Daily Catch, no waiting. We were delighted with our sautéed calamari and pan-seared ahi tuna.

Thanks for keeping tabs on our vacation ... we hope we can do it again soon.

Below are some shots from the last couple of days in Provincetown and the trip back to Boston. Enjoy.

Parades are just plain fun
