After leaving Cape Cod, we traveled North again through Boston, MA and landed in a place called Tuxbury Pond, New Hampshire...we spent a few days in the area, but highlights include our visit to Salem....much more than the town of witches, i might add. There is a whole other nautical side to this town and many great old houses as we walked along the "Port" area. The even had a great looking square rigger tied up called the "Friendship"...she was quite colourful!
We toured a local candy shop near the port and sampled some of their traditional candy..it was neat to see some of the old machines that they used to make "ribbon candy"....the stuff we saw as kids around Christmas each year growing up. Some beautiful park area by the water as well lined with weeping willow trees, but like so many areas we have visited, Spring is just springing all along our route! Leaves are just coming out!
This is a view of one house where the book "House of Seven Gables was penned....a very interesting area all told.
From here we also toured the beaches of North Hampton but the winds were very strong and the wave action was interesting.....some palacial houses along this stretch of beach!
