Boston and New York

---

So, my trip into the US started in Boston in fall. How great! I got to start out visiting old friends (incl my godson). We headed out almost immediately on a roadtrip to New York for a wedding. This included an evening in Times Square, taking the kids to Central Park Zoo, seeing Ground Zero (having a moment there to reflect), hotdogs in the village, the Natural History Museum ... generally a fantastic city. Wish I had booked the tour to the Ground Zero memorial before getting there.

Boston itself is a charming city. I walked part of the Freedom Trail, spent a day wandering Harvard and had dinner with a friend in a Cheers-like bar. Unexpected highlight: the library! It has some incredible art, plus a great coffee-shop.
