comments:
When my family took a trip along the East Coast of the USA, we spend a lot of time in Massachusetts. I was pretty young and really, really, REALLY wanted to go whale watching, but unfortunately, the day we went to Provincetown, the weather was pretty bad and the whale watching tours were all booked, so this postcard is as close as I came to whale watching!
