We thought DC was a little chilly, but we weren't prepared for mounds of snow beside the road when we arrived in Boston! The first thing on our agenda was to buy scarves and gloves. This wasn't as easy as it sounds - for some reason most of the scarves available were really thin and had holes in them - not very good for blocking out wind!We spent our first day walking around the "Freedom Trail", which covers most of the historic sites in Boston. If there is one thing this holiday has done, it has proven once and for all that I have a much better sense of direction than Jason (now I better publish this post quickly before Jason manages to read this and delete it).

We didn't quite finish the trail - I got distracted by some bargains at a clothing boutique, and then by a cafe with really good hot chocolates. Some fresh snow as we walked home finished the day off nicely.
On our second day we went to the original Cheers (ie the pub the TV show was based on) ........
...........and then to Harvard..........
Tomorrow morning we catch an early train back to New York. Hoepfully the Broadway strikes will be over and we can watch the Lion King. Then the next morning we head to Montreal.

Thats not fair! She was bogartin' the map I tell ya!
Yeah, sure Jason, make all the excuses you want!!!
Also, I forgot to mention...... last night we watched all my favourite "I'm-feeling-fat-and-stupid" TV shows (biggest loser, Judge Judy-like things, bachelor-like shows, Dr Phil) and ate cookie dough - we just had to at least once while in the states!
Hey guys,
Sounds like you're having an awesome time over there. South America sounds scary! Looking forward to hearing all the stories in person when you get back.
Oh, that looks cold! And here I am complaining about cold Hobart (only 9 degrees overnight!). Good to hear you're doing 'American things'! Hope you've ice-skated on a frozen lake/ outdoor rink... I would so love to do that.
I wonder if the hot-chocolates you had were better than Lindts... nah, couldn't have been!
oh yeah when i was in boston i followed the freedom trail around the city a bit (the line on the ground, right?) but didn't have enough time to go very far, and it was kind of boring. I thik I spent more time in a record store instead. We found that Boston is the most difficult place to get around. Therre are no signs that say what the streets are when you're driving around, and the drivers are all really nasty.
