Gloucester part 1


We made it to the Cape Ann Campground without a problem. We have a beautiful view of the bay and salt marshes of the Annisquam River. We were watching a sailboat when we first got here.
The lady who checked us in gave us a map and general directions. She also had a flier about all the local lighthouses. She said to come back if we need more directions.
We went to the end of the road the campground is on to the Wingaersheek Beach. From there we saw part of the Ipswich Bay, some huge house and the Annisquam Lighthouse.
We then went into Gloucester. We drove around a little bit, parked and tried to go to the Cape Ann Brewery but it was closed. We then walked around a bit and went to one of the fish stores on the bay to got lobsters for dinner. The man working was hoping to sell everything so he could go home and watch the Patriots game.
We then drove around a little more and again parked and walked around some more. We saw the famous Fisherman Statue, the Fishermans Wives statue, and we drove by the Joan of Arc and Fitz Henry Lane statues. From the park by the Fisherman's statue we could see the Ten Pound Island Lighthouse.
Tomorrow, hopefully, we will see the rest of the area lighthouses.
