Cape Ann, MA

My cousin lent us her car, which happened to come with a much-needed air conditioner, so Z and I set out to explore nearby Cape Ann and cool down at the same time. We stopped off in Gloucester, America's oldest seaport and Rockport, a swanky beach destination...

Gloucester has a large memorial dedictated to
all the men and women lost at sea...




The downtown is lined with interesting shops and restaurants...






You'll find plenty of views like this in Gloucester...

There's a picturesque artist colony at one end of town...




Our next stop was Rockport, known and loved for its wonderful beaches
and plentiful shopping...





Another fabulous place to visit and all within close distance of Boston - our next destination.
