Hi all! We're on the bus to Canada (7 hour trip from Boston to Montreal). We're looking forward to the border control as we've watched it on TV so many times. We're very excited to see Benjamin's cousin Alexis this evening in Montreal. We had a great time in Boston. Lots of walking around the city. We tried the local cuisine. I can recommend the Boston "chowda" and the canoli (Italian pastry filled with ricotta). Yesterday we visited Harvard, the MIT museum and the Museum of Fine Arts. We're having a great time. Our luggage still hasn't arrived so we're traveling with a small backpack and a plastic Dunnes Stores bag (photo to follow). We have been promised that it will arrive Saturday to our hostel in Montreal. Fingers crossed!
