Spent the day with Anne  who looked after Melanie in Boston when she went on her trip a few years ago . Anne picked us up at the Brookline Village station around 10 am and drove us round which meant we were able to easily get out of the central areas. First stop was at the house where JFK grew up . There was a long wait for the tour so we had a quick look and got on our way . Next was the “little women” house. This was the residence of the Alcott’s and where Louisa May Alcott wrote her books .After a tour of the house we went to “sleepy hollow” which is the town cemetery where the Alcotts are buried but also those who were from Concord and involved in the American Revolution . Following that we went out to the battleground site of the start of the revolution , at the North Bridge just out of Concord , where the American militiamen engaged the British Redcoats , whom then retreated back to Boston. Following this we stopped in a pub for lunch and a local beer , and happened to catch the end of the Brazil vs Chile world cup match. En route back to Boston we stopped at Framingham briefly , considering its fame as in the “Framingham heart study” .Seems there have been a lot of Brazilians move to Framingham and the streets into the town centre were barricaded from vehicle entry as a sea of yellow descended on the town centre. Back in Boston we walked to the new part of the waterfront and had a couple of beers at a rooftop bar overlooking the harbour. Following this we walked to South Station where we said our goodbyes . Anne is giving us a few ideas on where to go on our roadtrip to Buffalo(NY) which we will start on Monday .
