Boston Area Trip

I've gotten quite backlogged on my blogging due to a special project I've been working on. So, I'm going to start trying to get caught up.

I thought I'd start with sharing some pictures that I took while in the Boston area on a business trip (I never actually went into Boston). On the morning after I got there, my work got done a little before lunch time, so I hopped in the car and headed for the coast on an adventure.

I did a quick internet search before I left the hotel to see what the best scenic route would be to check out the beautiful New England fall foliage. Here is a map of the route I took. You can use your mouse to move it around to see the whole route, or enlarge it.

Unfortunately, I didn't have my digital camera so I bought a disposable. The pictures are pretty terrible, some even have a line down the middle of them where the color changes mid-picture. I'm so glad we have digital now!

I stopped off in a few small towns along the way like Glocester and Rockport. In Rockport there was an area called Bearskin Neck that had lots of little shops.

Here's a couple of the shots I took.





If you're interested, here's the rest of the pictures.

While the fall foliage was pretty, I wasn't that attracted to the area. Everything felt so old. Some of the towns I drove through dated back to the 1600's. I guess if you like that sort of thing it would be perfect.

That looks very pretty. I love fall. Did you know they have fall in California. I thought it was always summer here. The temperatures are, but the leaves turn just like everywhere else. I guess that makes sense...
