Gloucester, MA


A house in the middle of a pond …
We passed by this little charming house on the way into Rockport. Feeling enchanted and decided to go there, to discover.

A little disappointing, or we didn’t give her enough time. Anyway, we drove in and out quickly. Didn’t find her attractive, and left.

Bean & Leaf Cafe

Loving it.

Great view and vibe. Cute. Small. Neat.

What not to like? Two bay windows are used as condiments stations. They serve simple fares, so it could be a whole day affair.

Xizhimen 西直门


It was an old gate on the SW edge of Beijing wall. Emperors’ drinking water from the Jade Spring Hills was carried through this gate. The gate was demolished in 1969 and is used as a hub for transportation now.

Roy Moore Lobster Co.


39 Bearskin Neck,
Rockport, MA 01966

Will return – 2021.

This little shack is a good place for a quick bit or slow chow (BYOB) on their patio at the back, by the Rockport Harbor. Although I don’t find their fish cake delicious (dead & thick: floury) but the crab s and lobsters are good. The service is amiable and efficient.

The two seater by the door is made from lobster trap – neat. My review on Yelp.
