Day two of Provincetown exploration. Before heading back into town we decided to
check out the Dunes Bike Trail. We rode about 10 miles on the trail, riding past
the local airport and between the many sand dunes. By complete accident we
stumbled upon an empty amphitheater where I stopped the group so we could
partake in an all-inclusive round of improve comedy, much like the show "Whose
Line Is It Anyway?". After a number of outtakes, two Park Rangers noticed our
shenanigans and offered us free ice cream coupons at Ben & Jerry's located
in Provincetown BECAUSE we all had helmets for our bikes! (this experience
immediatly coined the phrase 'safety can be tasty'). We continued our trail
ride (now a little faster because we wanted ice cream in town) to visit a
renevated Cape Cod Livesaving Station. These stations were originally placed all
along the Cape where "lifesaving crews" would keep watch for ships in distress.
The one we vistied was the last of the original 13 Lifesaving Stations on Cape
Cod, which was pretty neat. Eventually we made our way into Provincetown where
we ate lunch and had free time to explore all the town had to offer. Of course,
the first order of business after lunch was cashing in our Free, 'safety can be
tasty', couponds for sweet ice cream cones. Pun intended. -
