I went to New Hampshire this week to see my friend, Chrissy. I haven't seen her in a long time so we had lots to catch up on. She lives really close to the beach so one day we went lay out at the beach. Being it is so far north, the water was freezing cold but there were people in the water. I thought they were nuts!
This beach had many interesting sights but none so intereting as this bird pecking at this fish skeleton. It was nasty to watch but fascinating. There were also lots of rocks on the beach which is weird for me.
We went to Portsmouth, NH which is a very old, quaint town that has lots history there. However, lighthouses are my favorite things so we went see this one. It is called Portsmouth Light and it was built in 1878. While we were there we went eat at a restaurant called Ferry Landing and while there, we saw Tom Bergeron who is the host of Dancing with the Stars. I don't watch that show but apparently Chrissy does.
This big contraption is called a DUCK. It is a tour car that can also go in the water. Chrissy and I toured Boston yesterday on this and it was lots of fun. It took us through a good part of Boston and pointed out many highlights such as where the outside of Cheers was filmed. Also. where many people lived such as Samuel Adams, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and where some were buried like Mother Goose!
This is Paul Revere's house that was built in 1680. Paul Revere lived here from 1770 to 1800. It was cool to see something that old. There are many old buildings still preserved in Boston which makes it a great city to spend time in. It was fun to spend time with Chrissy and her family and hopefully it won't be so long before we see each other again.
