First Week in Boston

---

(Dave writes...)

Well, we've been in Boston for 6 days and we're having a great time. We're staying with Donna & Joe, Gem's relatives, who have looked after us and treated us to all kinds of lovely food.

We went to Salem on Thursday to find some witches. Friday we went to Boston - a beautiful city that I love more than New York. This weekend we went to New Hampshire and stayed with Sharon & Dan (Donna's brother) & Cosmo, their hugely friendly - and it has to be said, slightly insane - kitten.

There's a few pictures in this entry:

- Donna & Joe outside of the witch museum in Salem.

- Fred, the teddy bear donated to us by Gem's school so we can take it on a trip round the world. He was a bit nervous on the plane, but he's improving now.

- Our lovely selves on Boston common.

- Sharon & Dan & Cosmo, on their stylish new couch.

- The Fish Tale Diner, where we ate breakfast Saturday. Heartily recommended.

Ciao
