So I visited New England for the first time

[mix]

For about a week...Boston, New Hampshire, Connecticut...had a great time...the weather was bad, but it did not put a damper on things at all...no pictures for now, though many were taken...I was an educator/chaperone for 10 students from Phillips Andover (MA), Jemez Pueblo (NM), and Pecos High School (NM).

Everything was so green! We never got lost, but the roads were confusing. And the rivers were so big and fat!

I saw the Blake House, Arethusa Falls, and the Pequot Reservation.

I wanted to visit the African Meeting House, but did not have the time.

1. Glad you enjoyed it despite the weather.

The rivers ARE fat right now.

3. Arethusa must have been spectacular!

Now's the time to see the waterfalls.


Westerners often comment on the intense greenness of the East in summer.

6. i did think of you

the first time i heard/read the words Kancamagus and Masshole were in your posts...given the nature of the trip i had no time to make DU connections in New England, though i wanted to

next time, for sure :hi:

8. I love, love, LOVE New England!

Hope to get back there this fall. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself; my second trip was during a rare spring Nor'easter but it didn't squelch any fun.

10. Glad you had a good time.

I love it up here in New England. This month as a bad one for weather, but it seems to be on its way to getting better in that department. :hi:

11. many Bostonians, as did others, said they had not seen such weather

this time of year before...all the NM students were not put off by it at all though

12. oh, man, I LOVE New England...lived in Pawtucket RI and Providence RI for about 2 years

used to get out of work to find my car completely covered in snow...then went to Spats for drinks before going home. Boston, the White Mountains, were our destinations on long weekends.

Not only that...New Englanders LOVE New England, from what I was told, when they go south for the winter they go to Connecticut?

The people are AMAZING! Being from the south it gave me a new perspective on life.
