Yesterday took a day trip North of Boston. Initially I was headed to North Conway, NH but after getting hammered by traffic, change was needed. First stop was York, Maine.

The lighthouse is actually an island and in order to get over there, the operator has to take a gondola type lift across the water.

Even a Yankee fan could appreciate the views from the lighthouse.

After seeing the town as well as the "Zoo", next stop was Portsmouth, NH. This was my first time ever there and it reminded me a bit of Northampton, MA except bigger, nicer, and by the water. I saw the main downtown area, as well as over by the water.

Almost six total hours of driving and three states later, I finally got back into Massachusetts and capped the day off with some Bertuccis and Kimball's ice cream.

Went to Harvard Square today. Caught this storefront after leaving The Tannery just in time for Iniesta's goal. After that, grabbed some amazing Sushi on Newbury Street for dinner. I ran into the accordion player, while walking off dinner through Boston Common, just before the rain turned the walk into a run.

So Yesterday I went to Newport, RI for the first time in awhile. Lots of nice coastline as well as shops. Today I went to Acton to see Carolyn's hometown. We headed to Delaney Project and snagged some sweet pictures there. Most of the colors got a bit washed out on here but they'll do. Check "Portraits" and "Life and Nature" for more pictures/better quality.
