Day 3
I'm in USA
August 19, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
Hi,

So I'm in the USA!!!

After all the issues with my seat I get on the plane to realise it was a 2-4-2 (A330 Dad & Paula!) so it really wouldn't of mattered. Haha! 😂 Our flight got slightly delayed as x2 people were no shows. I was sat next to a girl from Virginia though who was really nice and quite well travelled we had a good chat comparing USA and U.K. The flight was ok, was surprised to get a free bottle of water when we got on the plane. Landed in to Boston only 5 minutes later than planned.

I finally got through immigration and got my case, to x2 lovely smiley familiar faces greeting me 💕 We got a taxi to the hotel which is stunning, like a boutique hotel I guess. Although my room really is tiny!! We had a quick freshen up then headed to the Italian area of Boston for food. Before our meal we went for a walk around the area and stumbled across a street market, it was fun, lots of fish and naughty treats but resisted. The meal was nice but it was hard to eat as due to the time difference it felt like I was trying to eat it gone midnight!! On the way back to the hotel I bought some English Tea teabags as I forgot to pack some and coffee or Green Tea just isn't going to work for my morning kickstart 😀

The walls are that thin in this hotel that I could hear the Spanish guy next door on his phone... and the guy he was talking to!!! I thought they were in the corridor talking...

Right off to sleep as my eyes are closing as I write, made it to 10pm though which was my goal, been a long day.

Love & hugs

Day 5
Downtown Boston
August 21, 2017 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 23 °C
Hi,

So my Spanish neighbours appeared to of checked out, got a good night sleep. 😀

Today was a day of 2 halves, Downtown Boston and Salem. The weather today was hot and sunny about 87' and high humidity. We started off the day by going passed the 'Cheers' bar which was cool, before following the Freedom trail looking for somewhere to eat breakfast (favourite meal of the day!) In the end we asked a bus tour guide for a recommendation, she suggested a place called Anthony's, she said 'its hot pink you won't miss', it's where all the locals go! She was right, it was great, good food , small but really reasonable, everyone was saying 'Hi Tony' felt like I was in Cheers!!!

We spent an hour or so walking down by the harbour before getting the ferry to Salem...

This is part 1 as I can only upload x6 photos per entry using this new app so this is going to be a 2 parter 😂

Love & hugs

We had a day planned in Boston before setting off on our road trip through Maine. No trip to Boston would be complete without a trip to Quincy Market. The amount of food in this place is overwhelming. I had my eye on one thing and didn’t deviate...Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Cheese. OMG it was amazing!

After stuffing ourselves full of food, we walked around Christopher Columbus Park and enjoyed the scenic harbor.

Next up was Old South Church, one of the oldest churches in the US. The architecture was stunning.
We wandered through Boston Common, posed with some frogs and encountered some very friendly squirrels.

We found ourselves at Fenway Park before finding the only REI in Boston!

A quick stop at our hotel before heading to dinner. A friend recommended Giacomos in the South End. I ordered the special of the day - Basil Pesto Ravioli. It was delicious!

We didn’t want the day to end so made the trek across the river to see Harvard. I think we automatically got smarter just by walking around the campus. Instead of a nightcap, we got ice cream at one of the local creameries.

Last stop of the night was Harvard Bridge where we witnessed a gorgeous sunset. Great way to end the day!Read more

Day 1
Boston
July 26, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
We had a few hours to kill before picking up our rental car. We packed up and headed to a local coffee house for breakfast.

On our walk to getting the car, we were lucky enough to pass Granary Burying Ground, the final resting place of several historical figures. Most noteably is Paul Revere. Placing a penny on his grave supposedly brings good luck. My personal favorite was John Hancock’s tombstone. It made me chuckle!

We finally made it to the rental car location. I couldn’t resist a photo in front of the Piperi sign. Back to the room to pack up before heading north. Goodbye Boston! We will be back!Read more
