Sea Shore New Hampshire

New Hampshire has seventeen miles of sea shore so we decided to take a tour yesterday. We went to Portsmouth, Rye Harbor and other sea towns.

We stopped at a local restaurant and had lobster bisque and drove back to Newport. The shore is about a two hour drive from Newport, New Hampshire.

    Your'e making me feel a little homesick :-(
    Portsmouth is our favorite hangout. Monday night music jam at the Dolphin Striker, then late night greasy burgers at Gilley's.

    Echoing Joanne. And looking forward to seeing the piece those chimney tops inspire.
