PICTURE SPECIAL: Boston

Time to tick another major U.S. destination off my bucket list! We just got back from Boston, that world-renowned bastion of culture, heritage and seafood. So I've now been to New York and... Boston. Okay, it's not an exhaustive list, but it's a start. Highlights of our trip included:

  • Witch trail walking tour in Salem
  • Foods of the Freedom Trail tasting tour (lobster bisque, Boston cream pie, Boston baked beans)
  • The best pizza ever at Picco
  • Whale watching on choppy Atlantic waters, where most passengers went from cheerful selfies to unrestrained vomiting over the course of 60 traumatic minutes

U-S-A! U-S-A!

The arch beneath the Boston Harbor Hotel, where each room costs $1 trillion per night.

Bridge thing, sunbathers and a tunnel. Total cost: $14.8 billion

Old State House, site of the Boston Massacre

Faneuil Hall: Historic meeting place and tourist trap.

America's oldest continuously-operating pub. Felt like a Wetherspoons inside.


Paul Revere waiting for a high-five.

Old North Church, famous for "one if by land, two if by sea".
Nobody knew my name :(

The view from Frasier's seat.
 
Before the gore.

Meeting of minds.
