Ptown Post #1 of 3: Water, water everywhere

We're back from Provincetown. We're happy and tired. We have sea salt in our hair.

If you ever go on a whale watch and the naturalist suggests that there may be a "mist" or "spray" of water coming from the west, haul your bootie to the enclosed lower deck of the boat. Just a tip.

More on all of this later, but in the spirit of impatience, I am getting to the goods first. Da' whales.

Last point lighthouse. With seals. Fat seals.

"Viking" (humpback whale)

"Rapier" (humpback whale)

These are our favorites from the trip. S liked Viking best and I was all about Rapier (the biggest whale). I got all excited about this calf on the left side of the boat whenever I was on the right side, but it turned out that after you see Rapier, the calves, which I finally saw, just look like dinky mini-Rapiers - the big, presumably bad ones. But definitely more on this after a good night's sleep on shore!
