trip out east, the short version

We flew to Boston, had dinner downtown, and drove to Gloucester, on Cape Ann. Spent two days there. Did a hike in a park, visited some old cemeteries, visited with and had dinner with Deb and her husband, walked around town, climbed on the rocks by the seaside, walked on the beach, saw a concert (Lenny Kaye), walked around (quaint, touristy) Rockport.

Drove to Beacon to visit Mike & Jill. Saw their shop, walked Main Street, had a beer, had dinner with them, went back to their house to visit with them and the dogs for a while.

Sunday, drove to JFK to drop off our rental car, then took the train to Manhattan. Did some walking, saw some parks and art (including The Whitney Museum). Today we wandered Central Park, then came home.
