Back on the train the next morning to Boston, thankfully the train didn't take too long today and I also got to start the new Harry Potter book. It kept me entertained the whole way:) Once in Boston it didn't take us long to get to our hostel and get all sorted. At checkout we'd heard that there was a baseball game on and that we might be able to still get tickets for it, so we trotted on over but the receptionist had got her times wrong...the game had started a couple of hours ago, but it meant we could find out about getting tickets for tomorrows game (They seem to play baseball each and every day!)
Knowing that tomorrow would probably be totally take up by baseball we headed out to explore some of Boston. We started off by walking up Newbury Street checking out some of the fancy shops and getting confussed by a store called "The cupcake shop"...you'd think it'd sell cupcakes wouldn't you?? At the end of Newbury Street we walked onto Boston Common and watched people go by and quite a few wedding parties having their photos taking in the park. All very nice.
Feeling suitable relaxed we walked back through Trinity Church Square checking out the old churches right next to modern skyscrapers. Even managed to send a Russian tourist completely the wrong way back to his hotel, not on purpose... Spotted a supermarket as we hastily left the square and stocked up on some tasty food, eating pasta nonstop really gets you down!
On the way back to the hostel we wandered through the Christian Science Church Park. There was a fountain, long pool and some nice arcitecture, unfortunately the actual museum and exhibits were closed. Nevermind. That night back at the hostel we had a tasty pork and jacket potato whilst watching the ridiculous hype around David Beckhams arrival at LA Galaxy. They're half time review was all on David even though he wasn't on the pitch; how he'd untied his shoe, waved to the fans and then chatted to a team mate. Crazy! Retired soon afterwards to catch a few zzzzzs
