Whirlwind Week in Wellfleet

WOW! Talk about a vacation!

So, I have come to the close of my 14th annual trip to my Beach House on Cape Cod. That's one trip for each year of my life... All I can say is that this house is my favorite place in the world- and it's all mine. It was built ages ago by Lorenzo Dow Baker. For those who don't know, he was the Bill Gates of his generation. He was often called the "Banana King" as he owned United Fruit Company. This was a big deal in his time- he was the first to start importing fresh fruit into the US from South America.

Anyway, the Bakers lived here for a while before selling it to another family, who only owned it for three years before selling to my great grandparents. It's a historic part of Wellfleet and is probably the most architecturally unique house I've ever seen. It's been nicknamed the "Elephant House" due to its size and rare beauty. Whenever I visit galleries, I expect to see at least two paintings of it, and we're always astounded by how many people stop on the beach and just look at the house. I can't blame them- it's magnificent. It's recently been renovated a lot, which is a shame as I liked all of the antique wood and furniture. I thought it gave the house character.

Well, I'm gonna miss it... I won't get to come for a whole year! This week was amazing. I went to my psychic yesterday, which was awesome as usual. He's located on Commercial St. in Provincetown, MA, and I would highly recommend him. He's incredible. Apparently, I have some good news coming at me on August 24th... Hmmm.... I got a ton of other information about 2010 and 2011, which is pretty good. I also went shopping a bit while in P-Town.

I spent the rest of the week reading poetry, working on my book, working on my tan, going sailing, going windsurfing, and eating fresh seafood- my favorite things! It was a great week, and I bummed that I'm leaving  tomorrow morning.. But I do miss my friends! And my cat.

Wish me luck on the 8-hour drive home!
