Lunch at Alpamayo a Peruvian Restaurant in Lee MA

 

Today I went Leaf peeping in the Berkshire.  I took the train ride from Stockbridge to Lenox.  My option was a two how lay over at the museum in Lenox or two hours to walk around Lee.  I decided to spend the two hours in Lee where I discovered a lovely Peruvian Restaurant called Alpamayo.  I like all sorts of cuisine and somehow I knew this would make my day.

I love Yucca (cassava) but I have never had it in the form of fries, I really loved it and will probably make it myself.  A good portion of the menu was centered around seafood which I love, so I really enjoyed the food.

For dessert I had a Flan, it was called something else which I can't recall.  All I can say is that it was awesome.  I have a love hate relationship with flan, I hate it when I can taste egg.  This was just creamy and delicious.

I would definitely go back.

Wordless Wednesday: I did grab a cup of slow

Today I read Gary Woltal's  post "Pull up a chair and grab a cup of slow" and I could say, yes,  I did grab a cup of slow.  I took a ride up the New England coast to Cape Ann and stopped in Gloucester MA where I went down to the water and just listened to the waves.  Waves sure have a calming effect and you can almost feel the stress melting away.

So, I brought the waves to you and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.

Speechless Sunday-Kayaking Dog

Kayaking dog

I spent the last few days in lovely Gloucester MA . This was my first opportunity this year to get to the ocean.  I even had a fleeting thought of getting on one of those whale watching boats but when I was told it would be a four hour trip I changed my mind.

There were so many wonderful moments but one that really brought the bigest smile to my face was the Kayaking dog.  He seems so at home in the kayak and I was pleased to see he even wore his life jacket.

So I stood and watched this Kayaking dog until he and his human companion paddled away.

The weather was perfect, lots of sun and comfortable temperatures so wherever he went I am sure it was a good trip.

Wordless Wednesday - Steely Dan concert at Tanglewood

Recently I went to a Steely Dan concert at Tangewood.  Okay, I knew the name of the band and the connection to nearby Bard College but not much more.

I don't get invited too often to a concert - not since I slept through Aretha Franklin's concert and awoke to say how disappointed I was that she did not sing Respect (She actually did).  How do you ever overcome something like that?

My husband wrote this review of the Steely Dan concert.

Ginger ice-cream at Sundae School

Ginger ice-cream at Sundae SchoolSundae School

I was looking at my photos, when I ran across this one and  I  immediately started thinking of ginger ice-cream.  Okay when I am on vacation I am always on the lookout for rum raisin ice-cream.   I don't have it often, but most of the ones on the market don't make the cut so I am always searching.

This place is Sundae School in  Harwich on the Cape.  As you can tell from the picture it is a popularSundae School ice-cream spot for vacationers. I was hoping to get my rum raisin but that particular day they had none.  I took a long time looking at the menu and finally decided on ginger ice-cream as an alternative.  The truth is,  I did not know what to expect, however I was rather pleased with it. 

So if you are ever in Harwich stop by Sundae School and try one of their ice-cream; if ginger ice-cream does not appeal to you there are many other flavors.

Birds on a Rock

When I go to the beach the birds on the beach never fail to amuse me.  I have so many bird pictures that it is now a joke with my family. They are always asking if I got enough bird pictures for the day.

When I look at this particular picture, to me I see two love birds, no pun intended, contemplating their next move.  Or maybe they are thinking to themselves, "will the catch be good today?"

So, what do you see when you look at this picture?
