Lakeville and boston



Hey everyone!!!!!
so we are in lakeville now, a beautiful place, staying at Dan and christine's house (lakeville is between providence and boston in massachusettes). We have been staying here for a while now, hanging around the house, sleeping until 11 everyday (much to our shame seeing as dan and christine get up at about 8 every morning). We also went to a great thanksgiving dinner at a friend of Dan's, Max and Lee. It was brilliant. we started the aperitif at around 3pm, had a bit of a break, started again at around 5 and finally ate the much awaited dinner at 7pm... it was great!!!!! we had two turkey's (one roasted and one smoked), stuffing, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, and millions of other things that were really good, but even though they told me the name I have no idea what they were... it took us about 2 hours to eat and then we had to have a break and coffee (in order to keep our eyes open).
Eating with us were also lee's mother and father... the father is retired and now carves old grandfather clocks and violins and the most amazing things!!!!!! her mother was so much fun too, she is half portugues and half french and we asked her if she had ever been to portugal, she answered "no, but I have been to france" " Oh really, when? how did you like it?" " it was nice, well, it was canada... but its the same thing".

at the end of the evening we all sat down and max, dan and the grandfather started playing instruments... max was really good... dan and the grandfather were very good at keeping the beat with their instruments... but maybe not the tune ;oP and after a while even me and pietro joined in with our own very hot musical skills!!!!!! (obviuosly everyone not playing an instrumant had by this time evacuated the area!!!!!)

On friday me, pietro and Austine (the older of christines and dans two sons) decided to brave the american train and head for the historical town of Boston!!!!
we got out of the train and thought we would die!!!!! It was sooooooo cold!!!! everyone had told us to dress well, but we thought "ha!! we are strong young travellers, we can handle a little bit of cold, its no big deal!!!" how very wrong we were... boston is a coastal city, so the freezing wind comes right off the atlantic ocean and tears you to pieces... by the end of the day (that being around 4... sunset) we had to actually run through the city in order to keep... not warm, but at least not frozen to death... so we decided to go see a movie (it being three of us pietro couldnt argue with a fair democratic vote of 2 to 1!!!!) and when to see beowolf in 3D... dont go see it!!!! it was terrible, oh and hahahaha, just before the movie started a guy with a little trolley came into the cinema hall and said "hey there folks, Im a gonna be here during the movie, so you guys are more than welcome to come buy any snacks you might need" in a very happy and loud voice... it was great... obviuosly everything cost about 4 dollars extra... but for comfort its worth it huh!!!
oh and the squirrels!!!!! there are squirrels everywhere here, in boston, in new york, they are sooooo cute, and they arent scared, they come right up to you!!!!

im gonna stop now, im tired, and a bit bored, so my writing isnt exactly up to scratch, but i promise I will write again soon (we are leaving for new york again tomorrow). keep up the comments, and italians, read the english stuff too!!!!
love you all
Yvonne

Yah it's cold in Boston. When I lived in Belmont back in the day, I remember it being so cold that if we left the kitchen window open for a couple of hours everything in a 3m radius to the window would be frozen solid!! Nothing like the wimpy cold of Iceland, New England's proper cold, so cold that if you get caught outside for long enough you start feeling inclined to soaking yourself in gasoline fuel and then setting yourself alight!
Where are you staying when you get back to NY?
Pz out!
