So I’ve had just short of 3 months off work, cycled across the USA, ran a marathon, come home to Scotland and tomorrow it’s back to work – where did the time go and did I really do all that and do I really need to go to work tomorrow??
My last 3 nights were spent at the The Backpackers and Pub Hostel, about 4 miles from downtown Boston – I had a nice cosy bed to sleep in – and Bertie got a final ride before being boxed up to come home.
Cheers, China Town, Bunker Hill Monument – Bertie was left at the bottom when I climbed the 294 steps to the top of the Monument Tower.
Boston without Bertie – The Boston Tea Party, Boston Common and yummy seafood at the Barking Crab amongst other things.
Boston is a beautiful city with lots of history – very quite and peaceful compared with New York – loved Boston but think I liked the vibe of New York more .
Having read the play, The Crucible, at school I was keen to visit Salem as well and took a train ride there – really pretty and interesting town with lots of things connected with the Witch Trails that took place there – a fair amount of tourist tat thrown in for good measure but still worth the visit.
Salem
Bertie’s last bike ride before being boxed up – note to self – no matter how old and battered your pannier is DO NOT throw it out before the end of your journey.
