Our next stop was Boston, Massachusetts. This is a very pleasant place and definitely the most British of all the cities we visited. Firstly we headed to Harvard University, turns out  it really is just an inferior Oxford. Continuing the university theme, we also went to the 40 000 or so capacity Boston college football stadium. There we saw a college football accompanied by cheerleaders, flag girls and a marching band. All good fun. Another highlight of Boston ...

Firstly, an apology. We have been told by many that we are terrible infrequent bloggers, and we are aware of this fact. Rest assured our lack of updates is a reflection of what a fantastic time we are having, and certainly not because we don't have anything good to write about. Anyhow, although we are home very soon, we thought we had better briefly post an update on the past couple of weeks.  We left off on the coach to Philadelphia, which incidentally got a p...

Atlanta was definitely the largest city we had visited in a while. Whilst we quite liked the atmosphere and found the people very friendly, the city's sprawling nature wasn't ideal for us car-less tourists. Especially when the guidebook informed us that ...

It is now about four in the small hours of the morning in New Orleans. We decided accommodation was overrated and so are forgoing the luxury tonight before our train at seven. "What better time to summarise a week in the USA" thinks I, so here we are. Firstly we have changed our mode of interstate transportation from car to train. Our first jaunt on the train was a twenty nine hour affair and took us from LA to San Antonio in Texas. We had our own room...
