A daytrip to Boston

On Saturday Paola and I took the Peter Pan bus to Boston. We left Amherst at 7 am and arrived in Boston at 10 am.
We walked from South Station through China Town to the park where the Freedom Trail starts.
This trail is a brick path that takes you through Boston along its main landmarks.
The weather was good, we had Belgian waffles and a stack of pancakes for breakfast and walked the rest of the day along and across the neighbourhoods of Boston: little Italy, the Irish quarter and Bunker Hill. Boston is a mixture of Europe and the States. The old brick buildings are set in the middle of skyscrapers, the market place feels like Covent Garden, there are gardens and squares, and lots of restaurants. We had a coffee at Zume's at Bunker Hill and took the Tube back to the city center. We ended our day with a tasty Malaysian meal and took the bus that brought us to Amherst at 11 pm. As we got onto the bus, the driver warned us for some rough weather and a possible tornado ahead, but apart from some heavy rain, we didn't see any of it.
Tired, but very pleased with our one-day city trip, we went to bed.
The partners who stayed in Amherst were invited to Julie's house for a picnic and told us they'd had a great time, too.
