The pic of the city bay is our view from our hotel room.
The old port was full of summer tourist bums (like us) and ofcourse the locals. We wanted an authentic experience in this still productive port city. Dinner at J's Oysters (the view of the boats was taken where we sat outside while dining) Scallops in a honey butter sauce, lobsters, and steamers later-- we still had room for dessert and coffee at MIMS- a posh resturant on the corner.
MIMs was named so in leux of the owners Grandmother. Apparently "mim" is Russian for grandmother (mom, you're not off kilter at all to be called such a thing)

I copied down the names of all the people that I didn't know so I could research when I got home. See if you know any of these famous historics:
