Radio Bob finally makes it to P-Town (day 7)
I’m done! Another grueling 75 miles today… actually it wasn’t so bad. YES it was! (see I’m starting to forget already)
After an hour or so of traveling, I finally crossed the Cape Cod Canal and touched actual Cape soil.

Then I had my photo taken in Barnstable by a reporter from the “Barnstable Patriot”…. they have some sort of software/hardware setup which continually searches the entire World Wide Web for new mentions of the words “Cape Cod”… found “All In” and decided that I should be in their paper. (apparently a lot of fish are caught in Barnstable) Anyway, check em’ out on Facebook.
Later, for my “second lunch” as I like to call it… around 3-ish, I had one of my favorite meals, a Clam Roll with a root beer at PJ’s in Wellfleet… yum!
A Clam Roll
Showed up here in Provincetown (P-town) around 5pm after a grand total of 515 miles…. so I was hungry and ate about 100 mussells at a great seafood restuarant. I met some very nice people who happened to be sitting next to me…. they had ALSO sat next to me at PJ’s. Smallish world?
Tomorrow, more on P-town, and why it is such a great place.
Here’s what the Pilgrim Monument looked like tonight. By the way, it’s 252 feet high (it would be a great spot for an antenna!), and was dedicated by President Taft in 1910. Apparently, the 1620 Pilgrims hung out in P-town for 5 weeks before heading to Plymouth and the rock.

Glad to be here… glad to be finished!!
Congrats!!! You did it, and you should be very proud of it, as we are of you!
Way to go Bob!!! I’ve loved reading about your trip.
Hey Bob

You are a celebrity in the Barnstable Newspaper. Enjoyed your photos. How was Mass at St Peter’s? Did you catch the Fado singer and the bossa nova samba music?
