Día 1
Boston Arrival
20 de mayo de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Made it to Boston! Had a slightly eventful journey where I wasn't allowed to drop my car off where I wanted and ended up getting a lift in my own car to my hotel, which when I arrived was actually flooded.

Pretty sure I failed to convince the security check guy that I wasnt a danger. I couldn't understand what he was saying and he didn't like answers like 'I don't know what I'm doing on the trip yet'. Got swabbed for explosives too, apparently clean!

Arrived at the hotel very tired but dropped the bags and headed into the centre for my first day.Leer más

Día 1
Boston Museum of Fine Art
20 de mayo de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
First stop was the Museum of Fine Art, they have so much stuff I kinda had to rush around the place a bit. Luckily some of it wasn't that good... to me anyways.
Some cool paintings by Monet and Van Gogh, lots of Egyptian stuff that I loved, and some masks that make mine seem tame. Even an old school precursor to Jaws with random nudity.Leer más

Día 1
Boston Red Sox
20 de mayo de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Got tickets for the Red Sox game today and it was very cool to see the old school stadium. I can see why people like it.
The Red Sox won which is always a bonus and it won't mean much to most people but it was exciting seeing Trevor Story hit a grand slam over the green monster.
Game finished late which means I'm going to sleep at my body clock's 5am...Leer más

Día 2
Freedom Trail
21 de mayo de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Today was about walking the Freedom Trail through Boston's historical sites... with some Pokémon Go sprinkled in the middle.

The weather started misty but cleared for a beautiful day. The sites were OK, it was good to learn about how they fought the pesky British with the audio tour. I was looking forward to climbing the Beacon hill monument though, but it was closed, and I thought some of the other sites were just OK. It was really nice to walk around Boston itself, its a really pretty city.Leer más

Viajero Is that USS Constitution pictured?

Viajero yes it is! It was cool to walk around on there and have to crouch around the lower decks. I would have had a bad back... and head.

Pokémon Community Day
21 de mayo de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
It was Geodude Community day today, so needed to do that too. They also had a meet up event in the centre of town which I went along to. Not been to one of them before, ended up with a few stickers, although I was expecting a bit more to be there.

Made a new Poke friend in Anna who I will hopefully meet up with again at the big event in 2 weeks. Also battled a guy there and won an 'actual' gym badge. He's raising money for a shelter for 'queer and bipoc' Youths to get a start in life, and they have made a Pokémon gym badge which I think is genius... but the main thing is I won a Pokémon badge!Leer más

Kayaking the Charles river
22 de mayo de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
It was a very hot day today, so I decided to go on the water and enjoy the breeze.
Rented a kayak for a few hours and it was lots of fun. Saw some Geese although they just honked until I left. There were fish, a turtle, swans on a nest, and even a beaver!Leer más

Harvard
22 de mayo de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
I had seen a lot of students taking graduation photos during the day, so wasn't sure about visiting, but apparently the actual event isn't until next week. So I went along to walk around the buildings and try to pretend to be a clever person and see if anyone calls me out on it. I think I got away with it.
The buildings were pretty, I'm sure it would have looked a lot better without the graduation stage being set up. I enjoyed walking around, it was still very hot, but plenty of shade under the trees.Leer más

Whale watching
23 de mayo de 2022, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Today I went Whale watching and it was very cool. It was somewhere called Stellwagen Bank Marine Sanctuary and we saw a mother (Tornado) and her calf Humpback Whale, some Minke whale and possibly a Fin Whale. There were also lots of grey Seals who kept appearing and looking at the boat.

Didnt get many pictures, more on my camera, but spent most of the time just watching.Leer más

General Boston-ness
23 de mayo de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Spent the rest of the day visiting a couple more places, relaxing in the park and actually planning what I'm doing for the rest of the holiday.

Visited Boston Common again and the Public Gardens. Also went to Boston library, which is much fancier than Pontypridd Library, and just generally walked and relaxed around the city before heading back to the hotel.

Last day in Boston, but planning on being back for Poke fest in a couple of weeks. There was also decidedly more crazy going on today... not sure what that was about.Leer más

Día 5
Witch Hunting
24 de mayo de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Visited Salem today and went around learning about the witch trials.
There's a lot of tourist trap places here which I think I mainly avoided. Also lots of witchy shops that I don't think I'm qualified to use.

Didnt realise but there were a number of men who died accused of witchcraft, including one man who was "pressed to death" by rocks because he would refuse to plead guilty or not guilty, so the trial couldn't start.

All very messed up, more proof people are idiots.

The place itself is very pretty though, and I'm also staying in a 'haunted hotel'.Leer más
