Provincetown’s Red Inn turns 100

Red Inn ProvincetownBuilt in 1805, The Red Inn has welcomed guests who have come to vacation in Provincetown for 100 years.  Two weeks ago, to celebrate their centennial anniversary the Inn made use of their beachfront to congratulate themselves. I love the aerial image of the Red Inn.  Sergio and I make a point of it to stop by for a cocktail at some point during our stay in Provincetown.
