Kennebunkport

Headed from Boston to Kennebunkport via Salem on the Wednesday. Salem is where they had the Witch trials of 1692. A Beer and Lunch was consumed at the Salem Brewing company.

We then headed off to our next overnight stay at Kennebunkport, Maine.

Boston Arrival

Sedbergh blogger will become Boston blogger for the next 10 days. Finally arrived in Boston at 21:00 EST (02:00 UK time 6/10/09) after maintenance problems with the plane on the internal flight from JFK to Boston Logan.

Went to "Cheers" bar for a few bourbons before crashing out at the Hotel. Met a very loud American Attorney - but very Anglo-friendly and two Canadians.

Breakfast the next day was followed by the "Freedom trail" and then a visit to the USS Constitution - the world's oldest commissioned warship. This one destroyed a British frigate in the War of Independence.
