A person's trip in Providence

-One-man trip to Providence

When it comes to gay holy places in the United States, people will first think of San Francisco, but there is a small town called Provinton on Cape Cod in southeastern Massachusetts. It is the easternmost place in the United States with a total population of only over 3,000, and it has always been regarded as the friendliest city in the United States. Here you can see colorful flags and the meanings of the six colors of the rainbow: life, love, family, earth, community and spirit. This can be said to be a colorful paradise.

Provincetown is closely related to the history of American immigrants. /kloc-in the 0/7th century, a sailboat named "Mayflower" from Europe broke down in the port of Providence. Before landing, 4 1 adult male passengers on board signed a short convention in the cabin, that is, the Mayflower Convention. The signer vowed to create an autonomous society different from Europe. Provinton later became one of the centers of whaling, but with the discovery and exploitation of oil, whaling declined. It also allows whales to survive in this sea area. You can see eye-catching whale watching billboards as soon as you get off the bus. From here, I can take a cruise to deeper waters, and I only need 40 yuan to witness whales. From the end of19th century, Providence began to develop tourism. The pleasant scenery here attracts many artists. On the streets of other American cities, you may be surprised by the enthusiastic street artists. On the streets of this town, you can see musicians with reggae hair or long hair playing casually in the street. It takes only a few hours to walk around the town, but the small and exquisite galleries, art centers and jewelry design halls are densely dormant in the noisy commercial streets. Provinton Troupe, founded in 19 15, initiated the era of small theater performance in the United States. The famous playwright Eugene O 'Neill lived here at that time, and many of his plays were premiered here. His plays are still staged regularly in the small theater in the town.

There are many gay members among the artists. Although homosexuality was still considered illegal in all parts of the United States at that time, Provinse had a friendly and good social atmosphere, which attracted more homosexuals. In the mid-1940s, the gay playwright Tennessee Williams wrote his famous work The Glass Zoo here. In the mid-20th century, the Providence Chamber of Commerce decided to expand gay tourism. For many years, Provinton has been rated as the friendliest city in America. In 2004, Massachusetts became the first state in the United States to recognize same-sex marriage, and many homosexuals chose to come to Providence to register for marriage. According to the 20 10 U.S. census, 16 out of every 100 couples here are gay. Remember that on Independence Day, naked homosexuals marched all over the street. I walk in the commercial street, and I can see colorful flags flying in front of the galleries of almost every store, symbolizing friends, many men and women, or three men or a row of men, each holding an ice cream, and even a sweet couple sharing a cone. A couple will greet each other warmly when they meet another couple, as if they had known each other before. There are middle-aged couples with baldness, strong men with plaid pants, cross-dressing couples with blue fingers and women's short skirts and stockings, and coquettish couples who quarrel on the roadside and shout "What can I do?" In short, I was dumbfounded and completely shocked. Here you may have a feeling that you are abnormal, as if homosexuality is the most normal thing. At night, the eyes of the strong men here will not stop on the little girl. Xiao Mu stools at the entrance of every restaurant are full of couples. They talked loudly about which boy was hot, and then gave a lewd smile. The sea breeze blows gently here all year round. When the sea breeze blows over their cheeks, it gives them a strong perfume smell, and the air is full of hormones.

Go straight along the left hand side, and there are various shops, galleries, post offices and banks with distinctive features. It seems that I accidentally broke into the fairy tale world in Europe. The skirts and clothes sold here are very characteristic of American friends. Many clothes are directly printed with "I love my second dad", and various souvenir shops are selling small and fresh products around the ocean, such as shell wind chimes, dream catchers, beach skirts, hermit crabs and so on. Prices are high and low, but they are not too high. In addition, there are many small restaurants and bars. Like Old Town of Lijiang in China, waiters will drum up business at the door, and there will even be a gay show in the evening (don't ask me why). The commercial street is not long, but it's quite interesting. If you go to the right, you will find jewelry stores with different grades, yogurt shops, ice cream shops, baking shops and the most famous lobster restaurant among online celebrities. Before my trip, I always planned to act decisively when I saw the right lobster shop, and I realized this wish earlier. I found several restaurants. Lobster pot, old lobster shop, there is a long queue from the outer corridor to the inner hall, and the price is also staggering. A 1.25 pound lobster costs $30. Looking at my watch, it's about three o'clock in the afternoon. Hungry, I ordered a lobster in an unknown restaurant on the street. The whole lobster is only twenty yuan, which is really cheap. And the size is completely unexpected. I ordered pizza, French fries and a lobster, and my European brother was surprised to reconfirm. Are you sure you want pizza? I confidently agreed. As for the taste, lobster is the most classic American way to eat. Steamed in butter, inexperienced in eating lobster. I don't know how to pry it open with pliers. My boss and waiter will teach us how to open lobster enthusiastically. I heard that several of us had never seen the sea before coming to America again, and my brother showed an incredible expression. Lobster is really covered with meat, and every part is delicious. Dip in butter to eat, which not only retains the sweetness, but also increases the great satisfaction of oil. It's just that no matter how delicious the meat is, we can't hold on much. Finally, we were all a little tired of eating, obviously far less than the fighting capacity of Americans ... people just ate two or three rhythms casually. Finally, paying the bill is the most interesting thing. I heard it was a student who came to play. My little brother not only taught me a lot of magic weapons to make money part-time, but also recommended me to come to the town. He also crossed out the tip on the bill, which embarrassed me and gave him five dollars. He blushed and refused shyly. I thought he didn't want it. He said please and slipped it into his trouser pocket. After lunch, if you walk along the beach, blowing salty sea breeze, picking up shells and emptying your head, you will probably think that the world is so wonderful! Feelings. At the end of today's trip, I met a China couple and their children. For a wandering student, they are the warm and familiar highlights of this short trip. I ended this rare trip by myself in a pleasant chat.

This is a paradise of colors, the easternmost part of the United States, a gathering place for eating goods, a new world of artists' literature and art, the quietest sea in the eastern United States and the warmest atmosphere of friendship. This is the most beautiful town in everyone's mind-Provinton.
