Day 35, Monday, Oct 6, Wells, Maine to Gloucester, Mass

Knowing that we would be bidding goodbye to the ocean as we turn inland towards the Boston Temple and other planned destinations, we decided to take a room at a small but oh, so beautiful little hotel, the Eden Pines Inn, located a short distance up the coast from Gloucester on Cape Ann, just over a mile south of Rockport, Mass.

Cape Ann, how about that?

When we inquired about a room the propriotor told us the Inn was closed due to a special event planned for the next day that would prevent hotel guests from having access to the downstairs dining and living areas, etc. We assured her that we would not be troubled by not having breakfast, etc, if we could obtain a room with a view to the sea. Our request was granted! What a delightful place; so, very quiet and peaceful. No other guests, just the owner and her family.

This is our view, facing out toward Thatcher Island with its two lighthouses. Pretty special for two oldsters from the Arizona desert don't you think?
