MASSACHUSETTS - BOSTON











We slept in a bit today and got going around midday. On our way into Boston for the day (Chris lives in a town called Acton) we stopped off at the house of Louisa May Alcott (for those of you who don't know she wrote Little Women) and had a photo out the front (no time to go through it - will save that for another day if I make it back to Boston).
When we got into Boston we went to a little supermarket and got some bread, bruschetta, salami, cheese - that kind of stuff - and had a lovely picnic in the gardens. A homeless man came and asked us for a slice of salami and then talked to us. We have been asked a lot for money which is kind of weird for Holly and I to get used to as it doesn't happen that frequently (if much at all) at home. I am kind of bad at saying no - I think Holly want to take charge of that kind of thing when we are travelling.
Probably a good thing or I might end up giving everything away.
We then went to the Prudential Building and had a look around, walked up to Fenway Park (home of the Boston Red Sox) and via the supermarket to get some dinner and a movie to watch.
Another great day with a great tour guide in Chris.
For some reason these photos are in reverse order. So the first one is actually us out the front of Chris's house and the last one is in front of the Louisa May Alcott house.
