Mary and I stayed at Salisbury Beach State Park in Massachusetts for few days of very warm, humid, windy, and sometimes rainy weather. We got to take long walks on miles of open beaches, something we haven’t done for a very long time.
Mary’s friend Jasmine came down from Maine for a day and we all visited “America’s Stonehenge” in southern New Hampshire. This hilltop area of ‘smallish’ stone structures and features that are thought to date back 4,000 years are attributed to Vikings or Celts, yet most of the structures have been modified through the centuries. The site was still interesting and worth a stop if you find yourself close by.
The northern Massachusetts towns of Newburyport and Rockport are two of my favorite places. They have maritime history, great coastal settings and wonderful New England architecture. Jasmine joined us on our whirlwind driving tour of this area too.
We also drove up the New Hampshire coast. The area around Rye Beach and up into Portsmouth has some very impressive homes and shoreline areas. Portsmouth, NH also seems like one of the nicer cities we have run across.
We huddled in during our last night as the hot humid weather gave way to strong winds and left in the morning heading to Central New Hampshire for the fall colors.
