I've been to Boston only once and for a couple of days. The aquarium was indeed agood experience. My wife, a Bostonian, took me on a guided tour along the Freedom Trail (I learned a lot), to Faneuil Hall (now a market) and Legal Sea Foods (where I had an excellent lobster).

Mayor tells snow-divers to come down from 'loon mountain'lmaoQuote"This isn't Loon Mountain, this is the city of Boston, where we're trying to remove snow off of the street and it becomes very dangerous," Mr Walsh said.for those who don't know, Loon Mountain is a ski resort in New Hampshire (I went there once, many years ago), and I suspect the NZ'ers don't realize that, hence the headline

I was in the city today and in some places streets are lined with cars buried under 4-5 feet of what is now very dirty snow.
