Good Paige Hunting!

For those of you that don't know, Boston is the place in which Paige's life began. So we did what any two young adventurers would do and went on the hunt for the hospital she was born in. After a nice long walk in the heat we came across it and it was really quite exciting knowing that this was the very place that Paige's existance started - especially as she hadn't been in Boston since she was six months old. We went inside and found the old maternity ward but didn't go right in side there for obvious reasons but it was really cool to think that her parents had been there not too many years ago (that bits to make Paige feel better about the age she's turning in December!) welcoming her into the world. After that we went back to our hostel and headed to the ferry port to go to Salem. Now, for those of you that have been on a ferry with Paige know that she doesn't have the best sea legs so I did feel bad that this was the second ferry we've been on this trip (it would be three in total by the time we'd gotten back to Boston from Salem) but she was a trooper and survived the journey without any vomitting incidents. Lucky me! Biggest bitch was dragging our suitcases on and off the subway and up all the stairs and then onto the ferry but we made it just about! Oh and I also cheered up when I saw the Barbie yahct pictured above! Salem was absolutely beautiful. If you're in Boston ever I'd definitley recommend getting the ferry over there. Even if just for the day. We got to the pretty B&B we were staying in which was right on the main square. We arrived on a good day as there was a big cycling event going on around the square so it was all shut down to traffic. We had a good spot on the finish line and watched these fit men cycle round and round and round. The commentator was great and we learnt a lot about cycling races that day. There were three races in total and the last one of the day was for all the pro's. There was this one guy, Luke someone (I will look up his name at some point) who is going to be in the Tour de France and will be challenging Mark Cavendish for the win (Royce - I hope you're impressed with that knowledge there!). The race had us on the edge of our seats, it was really exciting and I've decided that cycling is my new favourite sport! Well, my favourite spectator sport! The thighs on those guys (see pics above!). The rest of our evening was pretty quiet as we wanted to get up refreshed to fight off all the witches and pirates that faced us the following day......
