I'm home at last. A brief recap... on Monday we went along the big Freedom Trail (most of it anyway) looking at all of the touristy stuff. This walk went on for a good while but before crossing the bridge up north we gave up and went home for a rest. We'd been told that Central Square near Harvard was the place for a night out so we went up there for dinner and visited a couple of bars, including one with some live music which I thought was pretty good.

Tuesday next, and we went to the Aquarium, and very little else, since we then rearranged our flight so we'd fly out that night instead of early the next morning, which suited us fine. Shame we didn't have much time in Boston to really get around, but that's life. I looked up where the two Cheers bars were (the real exterior and mocked-up interior) but I wasn't in the mood to see either. The flight was tiring because it was a late night one (we got in at 3-ish Eastern) but got to see Thank You For Smoking on the TV, which I'd recommended to the other two despite not having seen it myself, but we all thought it was very good. The food on these British Airways long haul trips is very good too, so no cliché stand-up comedy gags from me.

I spent the whole of Wednesday in my room doing very little as jetlag set in badly - it was 10am when I felt like it was 5am, so naturally missing out on 5 hours that could've been spent sleeping felt pretty bad. Now it's Thursday and I'm back at my desk at work as if nothing happened. Hopefully jetlag will wear off quickly and I'll get back to working on Wikipedia Machinima articles and the like.
