Rockport MA

Last weekend (the one before the Fourth of July) my friend and I went out to Rockport MA, which is a little touristy area on Cape Ann in Massachusetts. A lot of New England coast towns used to be working fishing areas, and still are to some extent, but there's not as much money in fishing as there used to be, and now a lot of these places look to attract tourists by having cute stores and artists and nice beaches. So Rockport is, indeed, very cute and very scenic.  I'm just disappointed we never found the paper house! Next time tho!

I took Arc and... other Arc. I decided to name her Suki (short for Tsukihime). I also took Sakura, but I'll post those pix tomorrow.

Here is Suki preparing to run down to the beach:


Arc has found something strange to explore:

REALLY strange:

(it's driftwood)

Arc is checking the lobster traps:

Lucky for her, they are currently empty! 

Suki is in front of Rockport's iconic red barn/shed:

"It matches my outfit!" 

Arc, meanwhile, got lost in someone's garden:


And here they are posing in front of the bonfire-to-be:

(my friend and I had no idea what this was until someone came by to ask us when the bonfire started. We thought it was just some *really* weird sculpture!   :pgiggle: And yes, that IS a pirate ship on top of the pile, but no, I don't know why. I think there was some sort of pirate theme going on in town as there were pirates everywhere)

You can see more (non-Pinky) photos of Rockport on my flickr page, if you are so inclined!
