Yesterday we decided to go north to Rockport and Gloucester. We ate a delicious lobster meal at a quaint restaurant right on the coast in Rockport. Yummy. We also stopped in Gloucester at the fisherman's memorial. There is a very large plaque that lists the names of several thousand men who have died on fishing voyages since 1623 when the Massachusetts bay colony had its beginnings. The movie, "The Perfect Storm" was filmed about/inspired by this fishing village. We never realized that fishing was such a dangerous profession! It was a really neat memorial.
We also walked down to the waterfront where they had advertised they were having a "festival", but all the shops were closed (it was only 6:30, but I guess the small towns close up shop early). We still enjoyed walking along the rocky coastline and exploring around the large boulders and seaweed covered rocks. The northern towns have so much charm.

It looks like you guys are having a great time! Beautiful areas that you have been able to visit!
mmmmm....lobster! I know what you mean about closing early. We found down in Amish country the shops often close around 4:30! Glad you are enjoying Boston!
The food looks delicious! The city looks like it moves at a slower more relaxing pace, but maybe it is your happy faces in the pics. Are you sure Derrick is in class? Or are you just having fun?
That sounds like such a fun relaxing evening! Isn't is the best just hangin' with the love of your life.
The East coast is so lucky to have you! I miss :-(
