Ric, Rockport wasn't always a tourist trap; it used to be a beautiful  
summer 
place and we loved it when our kids were small...My daughters used to go  
down to the lobster boats and buy three lobsters for $10... I almost bought 
a  
house in Pigeon Cove for $125,000 but by the next season the house was on 
the  
market at $600,000...By now, who knows? We found the same problem with L.L. 
Bean  in Maine. We used to be able to find a parking spot at any time with 
no 
trouble  but before long there was no place -- even at four in the 
morning...so 
we quit  going as we did with Rockport...Still, if you do go, lobsters are 
very 
 reasonable there and the Lobster Shack in close-by Essex, I believe, still 
must  have the best fried clams in the country...regards, bob  cole
