Boats, Trains and the RMV

I was out today with my Mom. What was suppose to be a simple trip to pay off some tickets and renew her registration turned into and all day frustration fest. I have come to the conclusion That the RMV is hell. I hate that place so much and it would seem they do everything humanly possible to make simple tasks into the most complicated issues. I should think that it would be a little more streamlined then it is. I short it was miserable. 

I was grumpy this morning because of lack of sleep and decent coffee which was unpleasant for my mother, I'm sure. We had breakfast at Binky's which is normally a treat but this morning it was sub-par, it was probably just my disposition. Who knows. Here is a sign they have on their wall.

This I must say fit my mood perfectly and I had to giggle. I did not take any pictures at the RMV because they would have been boring and seriously who wants to document their trip to a place of such discontentment? After we finished up with all that junk we drove around a bit and eventually ended up at the Cape Cod Canal which was lovely as always. There were a few boats out and a huge barge that came through which was cool.

After the canal we stopped at the train bridge which was neat. My mom said that she had never seen it come down, but as we were leaving a train came through! It was awesome and super loud!

 I will leave you with some picture of the sunset I caught the other night after some stormy days!

 Peace out!

Day Nineteen: Riding dirty revisited

Yesterday was an adventure. This was suppose to be posted yesterday, but due to a flat tire all the way up in Eastham, MA, which is the middle upper cape, I was home to late to post last night. So yesterday afternoon my Mum and I started the drive to Provincetown. It was a beautiful day and it was an enjoyable trip up the Cape Cod National Seashore. Here are some pictures from the day!

 We stopped off on Fort Hill R.d in what I think was Eastham. On a normal day you can see way out onto the ocean, yesterday though there was some really think fog rolling in which made that really neat purple-ish cloud line on the horizon. 

Then we got back on the road and checked out Marconi Beach. It was beautiful and the fog had rolled into the beach making the visibility on the beach itself not very good but it was kind of eerie. 

We finally made it out to Provincetown and hit up Race Point Beach and Herring Cove 

 Here's a hawk! There were a ton of them out there but I only caught this one.

 Here's my mummy!

 This crow was digging around looking for food stuff in the dunes

 The fog started rushing in and made some really cool lines in the sky.

 There were so many birds out at the beach! It was like a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"

 Saw this garage as we were driving out of town! It was awesome!!

The day was great! The night, not so much. Driving home I blew out a tire and this turned out to be a really expensive trip! I did get to ride in the back of a cop car to the ATM and that was interesting. 

The tow truck came, changed my tire and Mum & I were on our way. A 2+ hour trip into a 3+ hour trip. It was a long night, but a good day.

Peace out
