We walked the famous Boston Freedom Trail today, starting from Boston Common and the Mass State, through P. Revere’s House, the street where the Boston Massacre occurred, to Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, then on to the North T Stop. We followed that Red-brick road till our feet hurt. There were also plenty of spooky historic graveyards along the way thanks to Halloween, the devil’s day.

Gustavo didn’t have class today, at least that’s what he told us, so he came along too. We got some American sushi along the trail because Robyn’s Mom had marked it in the map. Gustavo likes my camera. He was pretty astonished when I took some paparazzi style shots in a flutter-shutter way - IMPRESSIVE!

We were tired so we killed some time going to a movie, and I showed Gustavo how to make pomodoro sauce like Drew and Ale had showed me. We had some pasta and then got into our Halloween costumes. I didn’t have a costume, so Gustavo let me borrow a kimono his family brought him back from Japan. Robyn went as a tree or sprite or puck or something. She didn’t like her costume too much, but what can you do when having Halloween in a place away from home. She just ran out of resources. So we decided to go as three Asian people.

We all went out and danced at “The Place”. It was happinin. Even for party hardy LA types like us! When we had heard all the top100 songs we could we cut out and cabbed it back to Fenway.
