Ipswich

So today we went to Crane Beach in Ipswich. It was really nice and not too crowded, plus parking is 10 dollars cheaper during the week. We found our way to 93 with no problem today...yesterday we tried to follow directions from mapquest/google maps and it's like we pulled up an address on the moon. Nothing makes sense here when you use mapquest or similar. Soooo today Alex took out the map and plotted our route. It made sense and we made it no problem.

I think I got a bit too much sun today...my ears are even a little pink..thanks to the new haircut there isn't hair covering them anymore. The beach was nice and they had a bath house where you could change and a snack bar with homemade wraps made with lettuce and tomatoes from a local farm. The weather was nice...not more than 80 degrees...but the water was cold! Felt good though because it did get warm in the sun.

One thing I've found here, and it has been confirmed by other transplants, they don't make very good ice tea here. Apparently they don't brew it or something and the result is something that resembles the muddy Mississippi.
