We fly to Boston, where we check into our downtown hotel in the theatre district for the night. Boston is not only the capital of Massachusetts and New England's largest city, it's also one of the USA's oldest cities and played a key role in American Independence. Today, the city is the cultural and financial centre of New England - a delightful mix of contemporary cool, wonderful parklands and fascinating historic buildings such as the Public Library, Harvard and the Romanesque Trinity Church.
