Yep, still in Boston but haven't done a lot...just watched loads of the most amazing dancing ever as we are in Boston for the World Irish Dancing Championships. Every single one of these kids is unreal yet only a small percentage of them place. Last night, we finally had dinner together and went to Max Brenners - yum!! Today we are on our way out to visit a trust aunt and uncle who live about an hour from Boston. The sun is shining (sorry the photo is upside dow...

Our finals day (or part thereof) in New York. We checked out and headed down to the 9/11 Memorial. It is on its way to being a wonderful tribute and memory to those who died, not only in the Twin Towers, but also to those in the Pentagon and on the hijacked flights. It does take forever to get in though - queue to get into the place to get tickets, queue to get tickets, queue to have someone scan the tickets, queue to get through the security check. We headed ba...

The guide was very knowledgable and had loads of little bits of information on scandals and the like from the Hall and the people involved throughout its history. The hall is spec...

I never thought I'd say it but....YAY, no snow flurries! We spent the morning having breakfast at Starbucks across the street for the free wifi access so we could plan what to do for Friday night and how to get to Boston. Once that was done, we picked up some tickets to Once tonight and headed to Harry Potter The Exhibition. It was all memorabilia, costumes and props from all the different Harry Potter movies. I was sorted into Gryffindor (yes!) and we passed the...

Up fairly early and a new cafe for breakfast - Ben Ash Cafe. It kind of feels like a bar but is a restaurant, with a load of new staff learning the ropes. Again, very nice orange juice (New Yorkers sure now how to do fresh OJ) and also french toast with fresh fruit. French toast was good (and a lot of it!) but the fresh fruit wasn't as good as the berries the other day! Stuffed yet again! We caught the subway up to the highest part of the museum mile we wanted ...
