Boston.
The forecast for the day was poor, and getting worse with the possibility of lightning later, so we had better get out of the hotel and about before the bad weather hit.
We do not eat in the hotel, as the cost is not included, and the place is a 5*, so would be expensive. Instead we walk back towards Boston Common, then turn, er, right, and come to a Mexican place that looked OK. We go in and have burritos and smoothies, which was very good indeed.
And then onto the trail.
Boston has created a red line, or in some places, two lines of bricks, taking the walking tourist on a tour of the revolutionary sites, one after the other and never getting lost. The only downside is that sometimes there are many people walking it too, but hey, you won’t get lost.
We pick up the trail at the edge of the financial district, and head down towards the harbour before it crosses over where the interstate now runs underground and into Little Italy. Apparently, this is the oldest Italian community in the US, and easy to believe, and had a very much more Italian feel than Little Italy in New York.
The narrow streets helped, and many of them being cobbled, and with Italianate churches thrown into the mix.
We stop for a coffee, pumkin spiced latte, but was the best coffee we have had since arriving.
From there, the trail goes past Paul Revere’s house, and farther up the street, the church he lit a warning of the approaching British army. Finally, there is a burial ground with stones dating back to the start of the 18th century, oddly not many people stopped to look in, but we did. I had been here before.
From the burial ground, down a slope, across a major road then over the river by way of a metal bridge with the roadway and footway made by a metal mesh you could see through to the water below.
On the other side we turn towards the old Naval shipyard, down through a new housing development, and into the old shipyard, and made of cobbled streets and open spaces, it houses a couple of ships, one the USS Constitution, which you can look up on Google. I had also been on that before, so did not pay to go on again, I just walk round the yard snapping details.
The forecast was for a warm day, highs of -2° C, and lots of wind. But somehow we dodged the bullet in the wind department and had a fine snowshoe. It's called Horton Hill because Tim Hortons has a summer camp at the base of this prominence, on the other side from where we were exploring. We had had a good dump of snow, likely more than 2 ft / 70 cm's, which made the snowshoeing good.

The weather forecast was really bad the day I was travelling to Iceland. All trains were cancelled, including mine. The wind went up to 40 meters/pr sec. at some places.

The 49th Antique Fly-In a “Triumph Over Adversity” - adversity in the form of weather & weather forecasts. The turnout was much greater than would have been predicted or could have reasonably been expected at 10 AM Saturday when it started to rain. Ceilings were 800 feet or less at 9 AM and only slowly improved. We never really saw the sun until well after noon but neither did we have fog which would have been a deal-breaker. 61 guest planes flew in. I saw some planes I’d never seen before although no WACOs ventured out (understandable). The oldest plane was the “Lindbergh” Bird restored by Joseph & Anna Fichera, piloted by Andrew King - thanks for that. John Chirtea brought his new (to him) Ercoupe plus 3 other Ercoupes came - as they had promised. There were a surprising number of drive-in spectators too, so many that the fire company food stand sold out of everything (for which we apologize).
Thanks to the Potomac Antique Aero Squadron for putting on this event and everyone that volunteers and, of course, all the pilots that showed up despite the discouraging view out their windows when they woke up that Saturday morning.

i just thought this was funny looking over our forecast for the week and wednesday just says blizzard, normally it would say flurries, snow. i guess they just want us to panic and run to the store again to restock up on stuff we bought before last fridays blizzard. its funny when they say things like this and people just immidiately go out and buy all the milk, eggs, and bread they can. just to be snowed in for one day lol.
Yesterday morning, Metcheck.com announced a pending Ice Age for the London area.
With the temperature feeling like -237° c today, I decided it may be best to stay indoors!
