It’s back to work for Greg and Rachel and our first day to do our own thing in Boston. Caught the T at Shawmut, changed at Park, and disembarked at Coolidge Corner. Walked to 83 Beals Street only to discover that the JFK Birthplace National Monument is closed on Tuesdays. Time for a change of plans. Lunch at Zaftig’s (Great Potato Pancakes!)
Flowers from a local shop, a Harry James 78 from a trash pile, ice cream from Sugar Heaven, then the train home from Copley Square.
Over a long weekend we sampled some of the myriad things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, unique among national parks for it’s environmental reclamation, historic preservation, and recreational opportunities adjacent to the populous cities of Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio. Can’t wait to return and explore more.
Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
