Quiet day driving to Boston-no photos

June 18.  Last night after we had dinner, we were sitting quietly in our room, Anneliese working on homework for her online class, Randy and I online and Joshua and Shelby reading, when the people in the room next to us returned to their room.  I'm not sure how many children they had, but it sounded like a horde.  They were yelling, bumping into walls, then turning the TV super loud.  I knocked on the wall and they turned the TV down a little bit, but it was still loud.  They carried on until close to midnight, then just the TV on not too loudly.  Then they woke us up this morning with the same thing as last night.  It was quiet for a short time while we showered, I assume they were down eating breakfast, then they returned.  Yikes!  Anyway, we traveled through Vermont and New Hampshire in the rain, it let up and got sunny and warm as we got close to Boston.  We had to retrace some of our tracks to find Will and Sara's house, but we finally did it.  Then we walked to the 7-11 nearby which we ate in the tiny park across the street from their house.  Then it thundered and started raining again!  So, no photos today.  Will and Sara's house is very old, with great character.  They are re-doing it room by room and it's beautiful!  Lots a great details--butler's pantry, back stairs that go to the third floor (servant's quarters?), molding, and woodwork among others.  We go into downtown tomorrow to see Emerson college and walk around the city (public gardens, etc).  Hoping for sun and warm weather.  We also hope the weather won't be too hot and humid the further south we go.  Without a spring, we're not acclimated to summer weather yet--a little sun and we're all sweating!
