What a day! We left Salisbury Beach early because we had an 8:00 a.m. date in Gloucester with Cape Ann Whale Watching tours. The drive was scenic and the day was beautiful.
As we pulled in, Steve (as we later learned) motioned where we should park. We asked if we could park in the shade for the pups. He had a better idea, and asked the captain if the pups could go on the trip.
So the five of us went whale watching.
And we did see whales
and an interesting old fishing port.
The whales were Fin whales, which are large baleen whales. On the return, we also had porpoises follow us, playing in the wake of the boat.
It was a beautiful day and this trip is highly recommended.
Because this was to be our last day in Massachusetts with Lizzie, we wanted a special dinner so we had made reservations in the evening for Craigie on Main in Cambridge. This is a popular place and rightly so. It uses local and fresh ingredients exquisitely prepared. Our friend Peter in Anchorage had recommended it—he is related to the chef. We had a very enjoyable meal and it was the perfect end to our Boston stay.
