Freedom Trail Boston

Der Tag begann sehr früh mit einer Überraschung beim Wetter. Die angekündigte Sonne versteckte sich noch hinter den Regenwolken. Bei einem Frühstück bei Boston Common Coffee stärkten wir uns für den Tag, den 4 km langen Freedom Trail. Dieser Spaziergang führt entlang einer roten Linie auf dem Boden, welche den interessierten Spaziergänger zu den …

Coming off our memorable visit to Maine, we arrived in Milford, New Hampshire at the home of friends Kimberly and Jordan Bullock on Friday, October 12th. I was trading Facebook messages with Kimberly up to the moment of our arrival, and she met us out on her porch late that night.

Milford is a cute little town about an hour Northwest of …

Friday 19th: I had 2 days left in the Big Apple before I would head to Boston with a mate that was coming to visit me in NY. Andy arrived friday afternoon shortly after I had prepared some bourbon and coke to kick start our weekend. We joined up for the night out that was organised by the hostel and didn't get back from the club untill early hours …

Just wanted to give an update for our first three days... We left Friday on a red-eye to Boston and got there at 8am, Saturday. We went to breakfast, then checked in and walked the Freedom Trail. Apparently the 'tall ships' were in town, which is the first time they´ve been to Boston since 1976... So, we toured all the historical sites (Paul Revere …

Wandered around Boston today, accompanied with my own personal tour guide and dear friend, Melissa. As a Texan, experiencing a real winter was quite fascinating for me. Although, it's arguably different since I'm not the one shoveling the snow >.< Boston had a blizzard just a week prior to my visit, leaving snow piled high all around the city …

We didn´t wake up early this morning, we slept till 11o´clock. But than we got ready and left the house after a nice breakfast. We had the bus-schedule and stood at the bus-station in time but there was no bus coming that should take us to the next train-station. So we walked. After 30min we arrived the T-station and took the next train in to …

Yep, thats right another blog already! Just the three nights in Boston did us and now we are just leaving Buffalo, NY to cross the border to see Niagara Falls. 3 nights in Boston were probably enough and we knocked off the major touristy stuff there. It has been a very long 11 hours on the Greyhound so bear with me!

Day 1

We …

We stayed at the Omni Parker House Hotel, the oldest hotel in the US and on the Freedom Trail. The Omni Parker is also famous as JFK made his first public speech and proposed to the future Jackie Kennedy there, and Malcolm X used to work in the restaurant. After a bagel breakfast at Brueggers, we walked back past the hotel towards Boston Common but …

Our days have been so full that New York feels like a lifetime ago and it's hard to remember exactly what we have done! Where did I leave you? Ah yes, the night we went out. We ticked off the last on our desired food list... a slice of pizza. It was good, and made even better by the guy serving us who immediately used the line, "Excuse me, I think …

Back to the States, and to another conference. A friend of mine attending the conference brought me an old phone so I could communicate! After the conference, my cousin Beth met me and we walked the freedom trail and meandered around. The state house had an informative free tour, and of course Frenchies were in my tour and required translation. …
