America - My Country, 'Tis of Thee


Provincetown, Massachusetts, USA
Tuesdays are for travel photos. In honor of the inauguration of our 44th president, here is a view of Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Why Provincetown, you ask? Before the Pilgrims reached Plymouth, they actually stopped for 5 weeks in what would become Provincetown, at the tip of Cape Cod, before sailing on to Plymouth. It was in Provincetown Harbor that the Pilgrims wrote and signed the Mayflower Compact, which established the first rule of law in what was to become the United States of America.

This view of Provincetown was taken from the top of the Pilgrim Monument.
