I failed to realize that this weekend was the Provincetown International Film festival, I believe Queitin Tarrentino was in town to get an award. Saturday evening there were alot of well dressed people in town, I was not one of them. We biked about 30 miles on Saturday, correction we biked 30 hilly miles on Saturday…loved it. We went out to the Truro Vineyard and although was tempted to try a few glasses of wine, that 5 mile ride back would have been a bit tough. So we went back, cleaned up and headed into town for some oysters and shrimp…
By Far my favorite oysters are Wellfleets, they taste like the ocean, and although they look fairly nasty I assure you they are not. At this point I would like to give due credit to the first man who opened up an oyster and decided to eat it, it took me a long time to get past the looks of them but now I am a true fan. The place we usually go to for oysters and shrimp is Clem & Ursies $1.25 a mollusk, I usually go with a fistful of $20s! Alas, as many places did in Ptown, Clem and Ursies changed, our favorite bartender was now the manager and there was some JVr shucking the oysters, I watched with great sadness when he ran the opened oyster under tap water…go ahead my young fool empty the oyster of its briney deliciousness and replace it with tap water, I threw a knife at him, mentally that is.
I was exhausted by 6pm after all the biking and trekking about town oh and the beer didn’t help either. We called it an early night and left town just when all the straight people started to leave and the night creatures came out…to go to the A House. We had a fabulous time, can’t wait to go back, rumor has it were returning in July for more biking and hopefully a bit more of a night life.
