"What is it?" |
"I am scared!! Go away!" |
"Why does it make such a big sound? Stop it!" |
"Why you put my carrot on this scary thing? You are so mean!" |

Today we went to Coppa, a tapas style Italian restaurant in South End for brunch. This restaurant is owned by the same owners as Toro. |
It was very hot today, but since Poirot was with us, we had to eat outside. |
The coffee tasted sour. I prefer bitter coffee to sour one. |
"Pulpo Alforno", Wood roasted octopus with salsa verde, and preserved lemon. Octopus was very soft and tasty although it is not cheap ($9). |
Across the street, we found a dog boutique where they sell dogs' clothes, treats, etc. Poirot got very excited! |
Today we went to Gloucester, ~30 miles north of Boston. |
Gloucester has the America's oldest seaport. |
At first, we ordered lunch at Causeway Restaurant. They do not have outside tables, so we decided to take out and eat our lunch in the park by the beach. You can see their menu from this link |
帆立、海老とハドック(鱈の一種)にパン粉をつけてオーブンで焼いたもの。ジャガイモとアスパラガスもついてきます。 "Causeway's Combo Baked Scallops, Shrimp and Haddock" came with a baked potato and asparagus. |
There were may American flags along the shore. |
Poirot was happy running on the beach. |
He found a friend... |
Poirot does not like water, so he won't go into the sea. |
But he was very curious about seaweeds. |
A dead crab. |
The Cut Bridge. It was built to allow safe passage for boats to and from the Annisquam River. |
Many boats were passing the bridge. |
We found an ice cream shop when driving. |
We ordered ram raisin ice cream and watermelon sorbet. |
Poirot was very excited when he got some watermelon sorbet. |
There are many beautiful houses along the shore. |
Then we visited Rockport, a little, cute town, ~15 min driving from Gloucester. |
We found swans in the sea! I've never seen swans in the sea before. |
You can see the water everywhere. I'd like to live by the ocean. But it must be in south as I don't like cold winter in New England... |
There are many souvenir shops like this one. Many people were enjoying shopping. |
A lobster restaurant. |
Colorful kayaks that you can rent. |
We took a break and ate "Elephant Ear" a big piece of fried dough coated with sugar. |
I wish I owned a boat, too. |
We wanted to go to the end. But it was too rocky, so we gave up (you could go, but I was afraid of falling down..). |
Poirot was proudly siting on a rock. |
As always, Poirot was dead sleeping on the way back home. |
We went to Pho Hoa, another Vietnamese restaurant near our house for dinner tonight. |
The restaurant is clean and spacious. |
This is for the Pho that my husband ordered. |
Fresh shrimp spring roll. This was freshly cooked after we placed an order, and was good. |
Beef Pho. The soup had a good flavor, and my husband liked it very much (better than the other Vietnamese restaurant in the area). |
私はライスヌードルに海老、ポーク、春巻きやレタスがのった物を注文。ライスヌードルは普通ですが、上にのっているポークが柔らかくていい味です。 I ordered "Grilled shrimp, pork and egg roll vermicelli". Vermicelli was ok, but pork was very tender and tasty. |
