Evan and I are in Cape Cod enjoying a few days away. Tomorrow we leave for Martha's Vineyard for a couple of days thanks to a gift certificate we received from his work on retirement. I feel so blessed to be able to visit a place I've never been. The Atlantic always will have my heart since I've lived most of my life within a three hour drive.
The first night away we spent the night in a motel (motels are my least favorite place to stay). They are usually smelly, of disrepair and usually not that nice. I was not surprised, nor was I willing to stay more then I needed. We were up and out at 4:30am. Good thing a close Dunkin donuts was close by and open!
Today has been nice. Last night we spent the night in Provincetown Massachusetts. The streets turn into Mardi gras every single night and it's absolutely crazy. It is the self-proclaimed gay capital of the United States. We stayed in a place that was quite nice but didn't notice the rainbow flag until we checked in. The hosts were both lesbians but very very sweet people. I think we were the only straight couple in the whole place. But they welcomed us graciously and we loved on them as Christ. We were definitely outnumbered as we walked the streets. I felt strangely uncomfortable at the public display of affection between same sexes. Gosh, we live in a confusing world. Evan and I prayed that we would sleep well and actually enjoyed our stay and interacting with our hosts. One was a transvestite and one was just a plain ole' lesbian. Nice as can be. We were in turn were gracious and kind. Didn't at all look shocked. Haha, we even went up there when they were having a lesbian woman's week. We were surrounded, but God was with us. Tonight we are staying in Falmouth and it is an absolutely lovely town. Evan and I've rode bikes all around and we are getting ready to go out to dinner as I speak. More later.
