I did not know that I was going to love Boston as much as I did!! It is an amazing city, so green, so pretty, with so much history! So much to see and do…
We stayed with Chirs and Kelly’s friend from Harlaxton, Cole, in ‘Brighton’, pretty central, and Cole skillfully slalomed us into and around town. Parking was rather expensive, but to see this jewel, it was worth it!
We did the freedom trail following (as much as Cole thought was necessary) the red line (not yellow brick road, but it felt something like that) through the oldest parts of town, beautiful architecture and gardens, churches with stories to match, and we had a lot of fun… although it was a pretty long endeavour. I believe we got started at around 1 pm and finished at 5 – so it was around 4 hours of walking, stopping to eat,drink (it was very hot) and read the signs… feet badly needed some rest, which we did at the cinema later on – watched Stardust… interesting, not particularly captivating, definitely dodgy spiritually, but with a very good cast and original storyline…. I think.
I badly wanted to go the Museum of Fine Arts, but just could not walk a step further and decided to settle on film viewing… and missed a once in a lifetime opp. Oh well, I do hope we will be back on Boston. If we ever were to move to the States, I believe it would have to be there!
Boston!!
