Hellow here I am again
I think I’ll continue to post in English it’s just better that way. But I know I’m not perfect so I make spelling mistakes.
So what did we do last weekend: we went up north to Boston! Normally it was a 5 hour drive but it took us 7 hours to reach our hotel. We are already used to driving on the highways but driving in Boston is just mad. I was at the wheel when we reached the city, we drove from tunnel to tunnel without going out the tunnel, cars coming in from everywhere and double bridges. I can assure you, it’s a bit tricky. But we made it and finally reached our hotel which was a lot different from our Marriot hotel in Washington, DC. And to make things even more exciting Leen lost here master card!! We tried contacting the last place where she used here card (yes it was a fast food chain) but without success. Luckily by coincidence she found here card back; it was hidden in a small side pocket of her wallet. The feeling of relief for here as for Elke and me was really big.

So after risking our lifes in Boston traffic and still recovering from the master card experience we reached downtown Boston. We followed the freedom trail, it’s is a 2.5 mile red walking trail that leads you to 16 nationally significant historic sites, everyone an authentic American treasure.
The next day we went to a lovely part of Boston called Beacon Hill. There we visited “Beacon Hill Chocolates” they sell the Mary chocolates which we are also trying to sell. In the afternoon we went to Harvard were we got a tour from a student. Here you see me touching the foot of the founder of Harvard University, it is supposed to bring good luck.
In the evening we went eating in Cheers café and again I noticed that the eating habits of some Americans are so wrong. You never see them using their knife which results in using their fingers. And when they leave the table it looks like a pig has eaten there. Funny to see tough :).On Sunday we headed back for a long drive home.
Tomorrow Natasja, Arnaud and my parents are coming over. I’ll pick them up at the ferry. I can’t wait to see them!!!
