East Coast Day 7: Harvard, Salem, York & Ogunquit

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Today I was not feeling so well, probably I did stress too much in Boston, I'm not used to so much activity, and so in the morning, while visiting the old yard of Harvard, I really was not in the mood. Things got better in Salem: I was really expecting a tourist trap, and from some side it's, but if you try to look over all the witches gift shops, and go walking among the old houses, especially near the harbor, it's really a nice little town. I even enjoyed the old cemetery, that has nothing to do with the witches trial. After Salem we arrived to the Maine coast. Our first stop was Cape Neddik, the Nubble Lighthouse... it's small and enchanting. We then went to Ogunquit, but we didn't manage to find the harbor! Yes, really, we wandered among gift shops, restaurants and inns, all along a main road, but not sign how to reach the cove. It was getting late, and so we preferred to head out for York, where we are staying for the night. York Village was actually empty (and closed), and so we walked among the old houses (and churches and again cemeteries) all alone, not souls (alive or dead), around.

I love travel, but sometime I need to remember to myself that I'm a woman not a machine ;-) Elisa

How wonderful. You are certainly an energetic traveler with a passionate eye.

If my body was as passionate as my eye I would have resolve all my trouble ;-) Elisa

The New England shore towns can be quite beautiful if you can avoid the tourist traps.

Those are lovely pics!

[elisa-rolle.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think so. You can avoid the tourist traps, or at least you can scratch them to see the treasure under. Elisa

Not about the pics

If your still in York, head back to Short Sands in York. From there take Rte 1A to Shore Road (Corner Market is on the corner). Take an amazing senic drive to Ogunquit. When you come to your first stop sign (5 miles or so) you'll be at the corner of Perkins Cove. Take a left into the cove. Barnicle Billys' rum punch is a must. Lobster at the Lobstershack is work the trip!

Thanks :-) But I'm already back in Massachusetts. And maybe it's better like that, today was all rain up and down the Maine coast. Elisa

Great pictures! I've always wanted to go to Salem.

If you do, try to go behind the souvenir shops ;-) They are quite overwhelming, but the town has also other to see, and better! Elisa
