9. Beautiful place

I love the Berkshires, I love the coast, I love Boston. Was a little disappointed in my first visit to the Cape but that won't stop me from going again.

The Old North End in Boston is one my favorite places. The first time I visited, they were having one of their summer weekend street festivals celebrating some saint. What I loved is that it wasn't touristy, it was for the locals. Women selling baked goods in front of the church where Rose Kennedy was baptized. An older couple dancing to Sinatra in the street. Whole families that you can just tell come back especially for this festival. Carnival games and cheesy souvenirs. It was magical.

And the restaurants! Love Italian, love the Old North End.
