... a ride on an authentic old time train around the city's harbor and see many of the extraordinary sites that have stood for decades.
Most of the city is compact and perfectly walkable. There is so much to see and do that you will never feel bored or disappointed. One thing for sure, you definitely will not go hungry or run out of places to shop!

Hope all well back in "Old England"...
Lots of Love, from "New England" - Love Paul & Laura xx

... floor! Quoth the obese pigeon, Feed Me More. Even now I cant be sure, but I think I heard it faintly whisper, Ill get you, and your lettuce crisper. My appetite, once so omnipotent, shriveled from this pudgy portent Ha! My lettuce crisper you say, maybe on my dying day, but not before! Equipped with a French loaf I began following, its skull I had a mind for hollowing, At first impact it began swallowing, swallowing the loaf down to the core! Quoth the obese pigeon ...
