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
