The only problem was that the museum was very crowded and u [View Full Entry]

Gonna head back 2 Fells Point 2night with an english guy we met last night whilst watchin some dvd of archive footage of William Burroughs!! So a [View Full Entry]

And suffice 2 say i haven't felt the need 2 eat since. We got the bus and then the tram in2 Boston downtown and walked 2 Boston common where we began the freedom trail. Now 4 those Brits i.e. every1 who is readin this [View Full Entry]
