Wellfleet, Cape Cod, MA, June 19, 2013:   
Wellfleet on Monday and have settled in nicely.  Basically we are resting up and waiting for the wedding to happen, on Saturday. Yesterday we had lunch at the Orleans Waterfront Inn - but since it was during the day we didn't see any ghosts.  We did sit on the back porch and look out on the water and boats as we ate. We arrived in Wellfleet on Monday and we're just waiting for the wedding on Saturday.

Salem MA, June 16, 2013: Today we visited the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem MA - one our most favorite museums.  (We have been going there since 1976.)   We spent most of our time in the museum visiting the Yin Yu Tang house that was taken apart in China and reconstructed on the museum property - and then we went through the "In Conversation: Modern African American Art" exhibition.Tomorrow we will head out for Wellfleet, Cape Cod!

Gloucester MA, 6-15-13: Today was a sunny, warm day and all of New England was out and about!!  We worked our way from Windsor, Vermont, to the Gloucester/Rockport area of MA.  It was crowded, but we started by walking around the artist galleries in Rocky Neck and then on to Gloucester. Gloucester isn't the quiet little fishing village it used to be before the book and movie (1997/2000), The Perfect Storm, became popular. The boatyard in Rocky Neck is somewhat hidden away - so it was quiet and we took some photos.  There were two interesting tug boats being worked on that we really enjoyed seeing.
  Rockport was busy, but we found a parking spot and walked around with the crowds.  We bought lobster in the lobster shack that is in the middle of all the touristy shops.  (We've been buying lobster there since 1976!)  If you go out the back door of the lobster shack, you will be on the wharf where the "Motif #1" is located.
