Boston and Home
To be honest, although we spent 3 nights in Boston we saw very little. Actually we saw the hotel room and the view from it, MIT at night, Harvard at night, a supermarket and the airport. Our body clocks were completely out-of-sync and we were getting up at 3pm, getting an hour of daylight and fallign asleep around 5am. Of all the places we went on our trip, Boston was the least interesting and there wasn't anything we actually wanted to see. Still I managed to get a couple of books at the MIT Press bookshop so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
And now we're back home. Our body clocks are still confused and we're getting aclimatised to the freezy Irish winter after the New Zealand summer. It's nice to be home if only because we don't have any money left and Christmas is the ultimate time for free food. But then spending everything is the point of travelling; trade your large wads of hard-earned cash for unique experiences and beautiful scenery.
