Hi there,

We spent a week’s vacation  in Gloucester MA a few years ago and I still keep up with what’s going on there via the weekly emails and GMG.  Will definitely be back one day!

Thought you might like to see some pics of the tall ships festival going on now in Gloucester UK.  We aren’t attending but it looks a lot of fun.

Here’s a site with good photos:
