Boston is not a city in which an Englishman feels particularly comfortable. The Declaration of Independance (which was announced from the balcony of the now dwarfed 'Old State House' the red building - below left) one is familiar with but reading reports of the actions of the English during the potato famine as seen by the Irish is an even more unpleasant experience

The modern State House (right) which we didn't find particularly pleasing on the eye was more memorable for its gold leaf covered dome!

Garth doesn't look over impressed with purple. So we tried puce!

And from the 'duck at
dusk' - Massachusetts Institute of Technology!
