Massachusetts Part1

This week we visited my sister and her husband in Duxbury, MA. What a great to live! So close to Boston and Cape Cod. The population in this small town is very wealthy so you can image how nice the houses are. Here are three we passed on the short way to the 1/2 mile long Powder Point Bridge.

Walking the bridge to the beach. It's longer than what it looks!

The water around the bridge receeds at low tide.

On the second day I wanted to check out Nantasket Beach in the town of Hull, MA.

We arrived in the AM at low tide. It was amazing, the distance to the water was quite large and the soft, fine grey sand was very comfy and loaded with tide pools.

 A great place for finding pretty rocks, shells and sea glass.

There used to be an amusement park there called Paragon Park. Like Atlantic City, the old pictures of the Park make it look like it was the place to be around the turn of the last century. I love places like that. A little salty, a bit forgotten, but still full of character. They are restoring the old carousel.

 It was beautiful even in it's partially restored state.

The carousel maker's shop is right next door.

At the end of the end of the peninsula you get a great view of Boston and the harbor!

Lots of neat looking islands too.

  More to come!
