Well i have found myself in Boston. I was going to Jamacia but i really fell in love with the snow thing and kept heading north. Boston is an amazing place where I spent 3 days checking out the city and surroundings. I visited the USS Constitution which was a navy ship built in 1797 an named by George Washington. It was a wooden hulled, 3 masted ,44 gun frigate. Its is 204 ft and made from southern Oak and was known as Old ironsides because the cannon balls would bounce off. It never lost a battle. I then checked out Harvard University campus which was ery impressive. Then spent an interesting but spookey afternoon in Salem which is a witch town where 20 women were trialed for witch craft. I couldnt wait to get out of there. That night of had an amazing experience where i had to go and see an ice hockey game. (that too was on my list). I also visited the Cheers bar.
The tickets were selling for $140 but i managed to do a deal with a scalper for $20. Mind you everyone in town speaks like they are from the Sopranos. I felt like i was doing hit deal with the marfia. The game was amazing and i managed to meet a great security guard called George (yes dont say anything) who spent the next day playing tour guide with me at the JFK musuem.
He had just graduated from Justice degree and was a huge wealth of knowledge on the history of USA politics.... Now i finally understand the Cuba- USA hate thing. George, thank you so much or being a perfect host.
until next time
love, laughter
