Yummy and more yummy..  As soon as you walk into Turtle Alley 42 Rogers Street, Gloucester, MA, you immediately have the urge to have chocolate.  The smell is amazing.

Magnolia Landing after sunset

After walking at sunset, noticed that the sky turned very dark except for a line over the ocean.  Had my day lights on and saw the lights were shining on a couple kayaks still tied up.  So pretty.  We are so lucky to live here.
