Our Cambridge Neighborhood

This is the house across the street from our apt. building.
























This is Mr. Pong's garden.  He gave us a bag full of greens that were delicious!



















They come in all different colors.  Many have turrets and rounded rooms.

A Trip to Gloucester.....................

Lots of restaurants named after the latitude they lie in.










View from the deck of the restaurant.  The Perfect Storm was filmed here. 






They have a ferry that stops at 4 places around the harbor.


They have a little beach.









We took a tour of "Beauport," the Sleeper/McCann House.  Sleeper is the name of the fellow who created the house.  He is termed the first interior designer in the U.S.  He was born to a wealthy Back Bay family around 1880 and chose to expand the family's summer house.  He would add rooms whenever he was inspired by a new treasure he acquired.  He had a builder who would add these rooms for him.  That's why the roof line is so wild.








































They have a nice museum which contains a lot of nautical paintings and beautiful local furniture.




























This, of course, is the Gloucester Fisherman.  Gorton's factory is here too.  We could have bought softshell lobsters for $3.99 a pound.
