We are back in the US!  Tony and I got up very early (5:30 wake up call!) and said goodbye to Niagara Falls.  Today was one of our longest drives (7 and a half hours), but it went very well.  We broke up the driving each driving about half. 

I saw two Save-a-lot trucks today.  The first one I saw near Albany (with the old logo), probably heading to or from the Coxsackie DC.  I saw the second one just as we crossed the border into Massachusettes (with the new logo).  Haven't seen any stores though.

We got to Boston about 2pm, and headed out immediately to Boston Common where we joined a walking tour led by a costumed guide.  We felt like good little patriots and visted a couple graveyards (Alexander Hamilton, Paul Revere, and Samuel Adams graves), site of the meetings preceding the Boston Tea Party, site of the Boston Massacre, and the Massachusettes State House. 

We went to an English pub for dinner and I had bangers and mash (one of my favorites from England).  It wasn't as good as the real thing.
