Bel & Massachusets: Rockport & Gloicester

I spent another marvelous weekend in Massachussets towns!

This time we rented a car and drove to Rockport.

I think it´s the most beautiful town I visited so far!

The doors had nice decorations, and the stores were just too cute to be real!

We bought a cone of fried calamari and fish, and headed to the beach for a short picnic.

It was great! The view was amazing...

Then we drove to Gloicester, passing by the Thatcher Island with the twin lighthouses...

The beach is Gloicester was nice! It was sunny and everything has this perfect light blue colour...

We headed back to Rockport and visited more beaches...


Then it was time to go back to Boston...

I was taking the 2am bus to NY, to arrive 6am so that I can sleep 2 hours and then go to the office...

My weekends are going great, but my Mondays are awful!!!

Can´t wait for the next weekend!

Bel & Massachusets: Manchester

Sunday biking Massachusets... glamorous style!

Bel & Massachusets: Salem + Marblehead

Lately, I´ve been going to Boston to spend most weekends.

And i´m using the opportunity to visit some cute Massachustes towns...

This time we took the train to Salem!

We visited the Witch Museum!

And then headed to Marblehead...

The weather was nice and we went to the beach :)



On the way back to the train station, we stopped to take one more picture in the house where the witch trials were held.

But when we reached the train station, my travel mate realized he had forgotten his backpack in that historical house!!! He had his cellphone, wallet and everything. We rushed to see if it was still there...
And it was!

He ´s always loosing things! But he´s so lucky he recovers everything!

Well, that´s it for now!

It was a great sunny lucky day!

Bel & Cambridge

Last weekend I came back to Boston...

I can´t help comparing to the time I visited in Winter, with my friends. It looks so different...

The lakes and rivers that were frozen are now offering a great scenario for picnics and sports.

I´m not very sporty but I thought it was a good plan for a Saturday afternoon to try kayaking...

So we headed to the Charles River, and rented a kayak in Cambridge...

It was hilarious... I´m really bad at it...

H thought it was a good idea to get off the kayak so that he could take better pictures of me with the Harvard Boating House behind...

I couldn´t coordinate at all and kept going in circles... And then... I couldn´t get close to the shore to pick him up, so funny!

Finally, I managed to get him on board and we went back the rental place...

It´s something I´d like to try again, for sure!

Bel & Boston

A few weeks ago I started visiting Boston...

and I kept going back... every weekend.

The company has a Summer Friday program so it means that every other Friday I get to leave by 1pm.

The city is charmingly elegant, but that´s not all, I got someone to visit in Boston :)

So, every Friday I´ve been traveling to Boston, to come back to New York on Sunday afternoon. It´s exhausting but it´s good to get attached to another city. I´m hoping it will help me get over my New York obsession, hehe

These are some of the pics of my weekends in Boston.

On my first weekend, I visited the Museum of Fine Arts, and then I met H to go to the Institute of Contemporary Art. It´s a shame I didn´t take any pictures. I guess I got distracted :)

Then, we took a walk and ended up entering the Aquarium for free. It turned out there was a wedding being held and we entered as if we were guests... so funny!

The New England Aquarium is stunning! It was a round pool, really tall and you can walk around it. As you walk through the different floors, you get to see different species. So nice!

Then we went to a party at some of H´s friends´place. It was fun.

On Sunday afternoon I went back to New York.

The following weekend I had my boss´farewell in New Jersey, so I couldn´t miss it.

It´s a shame he is leaving the company but I guess it´s the best for him. He will be moving to the suburbs to a larger place and I´m sure his kids will like it better.

So, I had to wait two weekends to go back to Boston.

It turned out there was a particular thing going on in Harvard. Harvard University had bought a few houses to house new faculty buildings. Since the houses were historical, they couldn´t suffered alterations or be demolished... So, they decided to move them! It was a very difficult and expensive process! But they manage to put wheels under the houses, and they moved them to a different location. This way, Harvard gets a great location close the campus, and the houses with its history are preserved.

The day after, we took a walk though the Boston Common and then we drove to Marshfields. Just a nice beach town where we took a nice walk and made a picnic :)

The following weekend we visited the Library.

And walked around the city...

I hope you enjoy the pictures!
