Finally back to Tim's house! Yesterday was really nice - Tim, Kendall, Kevin and I drove up to New Hampshire, and through the trees that are incredible colours of yellow, orange and red right now. I bought a disposable camera, and took a lot of pictures - once I get my camera back from Kendall, and the pictures developed, they will be on the site.
We then headed on to Salem, where Sissi (Tim's girlfriend), Aileen (who has VERY nice curly dark hair) and Christy (who knew WAY more about the UK music scene and football/soccer then I did ... although I knew more about the American music we were listening to) met us at the Boston Beer Works. They have a range of interesting beers on tap, including pumpkin and blueberry flavoured beers, so once again, I felt the need to sample some, at Tim's insistance. We were planning to have food there, so ordered and waited and waited and waited. Then we waited some more, and then some more... Eventually, after 90mins+ we got our food, but some of it had definitely been sitting around for a while, so we called the manager over ... and had all our drink orders taken from the bill, which was a pretty significant gesture.
After our food, we took a walk around Salem, and had a walk through some graveyards and had a good look around. I would like to go back up there to learn some more about the witchcraft things that went on there, though. We then ALL squashed back into Tim's mighty Nissan Xterra and headed back into Boston, for a few more quick beers, in a random pub, with some pretty good live music. I think it was at this point that I misplaced my phone, which is never a good thing for me! :-))
Today has been spent sleeping, and riding about on the wonderful T. One US dollar to go anywhere in the city, really IS what mass transit is about (as well as nice clean vehicles that (appear to) run on time). Weather is not so nice today...
Tim is at a Thai-Chi class right now, and Sissi has gone to University to do some work, but we are all meeting up later for a big meal in Chinatown.
