Day 3: Downtown Boston (May 28th)



Got up early & headed in for a look around town. Got train into the Haymarket area which brought me straight into the middle of the commercial district. the high rise centre was impressive maybe because I wasn't expecting it. Went over to the waterfront for a last look at the Atlantic for a while. Saw some solo cross atlantic yachts & chatted with an auld fella for a few minutes about the journey. he told me to watch out for wild fires in mid-west & gave me an internet site to monitor. He also told me I'd be heading into head winds all the way across & wished me best of luck.
Strolled through town & across Boston common, a nice public park (where a lad got shot by police 2 days later!!) and over to Boylston Ave where I bought my stove. After a bite to eat and a another look through the centre inthe Haymarket area, headed back out to the hostel to assemble the bike & get ready for the morning. I got a massive plate of pasta for dinner in a local bar watched a bit of LA Lakers, headed back to bed & asleep by 10pm.
