One door closes, you go to Boston

I made it to Boston at about 5 this afternoon. The weather in New York was glorious this morning. The wind was gone and the skies were clear (it had risen to minus 6).

I took the opportunity to go to the top of 30 Rock (Rockefeller Plaza), which houses NBC (among other things). The view was indescribable. Seeing central park from that height was an experience. I would have loved to just stay up there and look at New York, trying to read all of the stories wrapped up in it.

I then just walked the streets for an hour, which did not help the blisters which have developed because of my stupid runners I wore yesterday for comfort. I should have stuck to the cowboy boots- they are great to walk in, though it feels like 2 blocks of concrete. Walking through the streets of NY is as good as visting one of the famous landmarks.

The drive to Boston was easy and Connecticut was beautiful. I have the 10 hour drive to Cleveland in 2 days that is going to be a humdinger.

I went our for dinner tonight and had some good old Clam Chowder which was great. I got to walk around town which has a mild English feel. This is in part from the lack of organisation in the street pattern, which was from it being one of the earliest US settlements and the city expanding as needed rather than being planned. I have also seen a recreated Cheers bar but I just could not go in- it was too cheesy.

Tomorrow I have a few things planned. I am going to tour the Sam Adams brewery which is the local beer that I have been drinking most while I have been in America. I'm also going to check out the Boston Legal and Cheers actual buildings (I saw the Ally McBeal building tonight). I'll also check out MIT and Harvard. I'm going to finish the day with a Blue Man group show.

Only a few days left. See you all soon.
