We travel through Faneuil Hall, and consider its ancient role of citadel of liberation

Okay, last time, I had us on the “T” (Boston’s version of the subway) and we were headed downtown. In particular, we were headed to...

We have further adventures at the Wonderland T-Stop.

We are off to Wonderland...the Wonderland T-stop, and headed for Boston.

Finally, last thoughts on Nahant, a city/town which is many things...mostly good, but with a certain limit.

In which I explore Niwe Englaland, a colony of Anglo-Saxons which may have existed in today's Crimea. Or maybe didn't. Fun either way.

Yet more about Tucker's Wharf, and my imaginary confederation of vanished nations.

And more about Tucker's Wharf in Marblehead, and how I plan to create my own mini-country, complete with battleships.

We explore Marblehead, and come to "Tucker's Wharf." A relation? Who can say?

Check out my next #travelblog post. We visit Swampscott and Marblehead, and I enjoy the memory of a snotty waitress who got zapped big-time.

We explore a little of Nahant--specifically, Bailey Hill Park.

We learn a bit more about Nahant, and its mysterious social undercurrents.

We arrive in Nahant, a mysterious town by the sea.

We explore Rockport a bit more, and then head for the mysterious town of Nahant.

We walk to the end of the Neck, and reflect on a failed effort to turn Rockport into a major navel fortress.

When I left off, I had us just entering Bearskin Neck in the little town of Rockport, Massachusetts. We were curious, but also a little...

We visit Bearskin Neck...and ask if Mr. Babson really took out a bear with just his pluck and pen knife (I kinda doubt it.)

We begin our visit to Rockport, a city by the sea.

Meet Rockport, a town with its face to the sea, and its eyes on beauty.

Today's #travelblog entry is all about Cape Ann, Rockport, and a guy named John Smith. No. Really. That was his name. Honest to God.
