Sep 26 – We arrived in the Boston area last Wednesday the 22nd. We’re staying in the campground at Hanscom AFB. We needed to have access to electricity for a while to recharge our coach batteries. Prior to arriving in Maine we would drive almost all day then stay for a night or two and leave again. Once we arrived at the coast of Maine there’s been so much to see we’ve been staying 3-4 days then driving an hour or two to the next location. It hasn’t been enough to fully re-charge the coach batteries.
The weather here has been nice, in the upper 80s most days. The trees still haven't changed much. I guess they're waiting for colder weather.
We took the subway into the city (Who in his/her right mind wants to drive or find parking in Boston?) and did the tourist thing. We took a trolley to most of the top sights. There are several companies here that offer trolley tours. We went to Cheers, the USS Constitution, Paul Revere’s house, had a great lunch in little Italy and thoroughly enjoyed walking around the old buildings. They have a graveyard with several of our founding fathers buried there. Tons of history here.
They also have some great parks. The person that designed New York’s Central Park did these. The area known as Boston Common’s is nice as well as the park across the street. They have an unusual statue of a bunch of ducks walking on a sidewalk. We had to take a picture of that; it was so cute.
We plan on leaving tomorrow morning and stopping in the area of Providence, Rhode Island next.
