Arrived Providence on the 7th. Neat town, but much rain, cool temps, no nearby campgrounds, so hello Walmart ! Somehow lost a trailer wheel trim ring and found a small leak in fresh water tank. No big deal on either. Hope they're the biggest problems we'll have.
Set up camp at Wompatuck State park, south of Boston. Beautiful facility and a great location to base out of. Went into Quincy and visited many historic sites, including the homes of John & John Q. Adams. Quaint N.E. town, but had some tense moments exiting. Tom severely questioned Joannie's navigational skills while attempting to negotiate the high traffic & crazy drivers. Seems we must brush up on gps use and pre-trip planning. We had a chuckle later ( hours later....) about the experience and Joan decided not to fly back to Pa. as she'd previously threstened.
Next day ferried over to a downtown wharf in Boston. The tall ships were docked and we had perfect weather. We walked all over Beantown, and Tom got to re-visit many of the familiar places from his time spent living and going to school there. The rooming house, the school itself, ( located in the North End, with all the related sites and smells of the Italian neighborhood ), Beacon Hill, and the Public Garden & Commons all brought back many fond memories. We even had a cold one at the "Cheers" bar on Beacon St. What a day !
Heading next to Maine, and will post again soon !

Hey Guys - no arguing! Sounds like you're making good time. Cathy was thinking of you at cheers - we were they're too a number of years ago. Kinda of neat. Post some pictures if you can - we'd love to see some. Keep on blogging!
ReplyDeleteTo Tom from John: I understand your pain. To Joan from Doris: You can fly back to PA anytime you want. I'll meet you at the airport, give you an understanding hug, and put you back on the plant to wherever Tom will be next.
