I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay -- and the food -- here in New England. I inherited the love of lobster from our grandmother (see Seine Judeet's comment), but I'm vegetarian now and lobster is the only meat I miss. Can't wait to read about the rest of your trip.<br />BetsyNotchNorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592233115819398599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-50951193756952028972012-05-06T23:49:09.756+02:002012-05-06T23:49:09.756+02:00The "smiles and good-naturedness" are wh...The "smiles and good-naturedness" are what we loved the most about our visits to the US.

After he retired, he worked part-time for several years at Federal Cigar, just steps from the brewery you visited. It warms my heart to know that you've been to the town he loved so dearly. Perhaps, from on high (?), he spotted you in his old hangouts.<br /> I read both your blogs religiously now, and I enjoy them immensely. Hope your trip continues to be a wonderful one!<br /> Mary (Bill's wife)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-20297399844511401212012-05-06T22:26:53.234+02:002012-05-06T22:26:53.234+02:00Bonsoir Cousin

My mom is right here next to me (she reads your blog when she can), and she's a big fan of fried clams, and my grandmother was a huge lobster fan... we're having fun! We discovered that Rockport was a dry town, much to my husband's dismay, but what a beauty of a coastal town! <br /><br />Enjoy!!
