Our group met historical Rockport, located 40 miles northeast
of downtown Boston. We had ample time to explore this picturesque postcard
town, nestled next to Gloucester and enjoy a leisurely lunch.

Farida K:
“Doris planned a lovely visit to Rockport. We started our visit by having lunch in a restaurant with a magnificent ocean view. After that we strolled around to the various shops and boutiques.
The icing on the cake was we got to watch a piano recital performed by an amateur student at the fantastic Rockport music hall. The tour ended with having the infamous apple strudel for dessert. Once again thank you, Doris for arranging an amazing tour!! You do such a fantastic job as always!! Truly appreciate all your efforts!!?

Judith:
“A delightful day. But bittersweet! Farida’s description captures the marvelous time we had – making it all the harder for us to accept that it was the last of the Lunch Bunch gatherings to be arranged by Doris as Chair of this group, because she will step down at the end of the current IWCB year. Thank heavens she has promised not to abandon us altogether (on a less official basis another tour is being planned)…a great consolation!”
