Day Two - Concord Massachusetts - Part Three




The family history buff came out in me as we visited Sleepy Hollow Cemetery as indicated by the amount of pictures I took. This is not the one in New York that the legend story is written about but it has a special feeling to it when you are on author's ridge and seeing the graves of Louisa Mae Alcott, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathanial Hawthorn. We were there at dusk and it was raining. Am I right to assume the little white dots are the flash in the rain drops and not visitors? Of course it was raining harder at the Old North Bridge and no such dots are in those pictures. Hmmm. Perhaps no one sees them except me?

Hopefully I have the graves labeled correctly. After we left Sleepy Hollow we drove to Waldon Pond. The parking area was closed and it was getting quite dark so we did not stop. We drove back to Salem, walked from the bed and breakfast to the business area and had a great meal at Passage to India.

This concludes our second day in the Greater Boston Area. The next post will begin day three, which was spent in Boston.

  2. Thanks Benne. I assume you can see the white spots - especially at the Alcott family plot?
