Fun in Massachusetts

For the past few days my family and I have been in Massachusetts before Thanksgiving. On Sunday we visited Plimoth Plantation which consists of the Wampanoag Homesite, the recreated Plymouth from the 17th century, a craft building and a barn. It was really interesting to hear the opinions of the role players from the 17th century. They spoke in old English accents and they are really in character. I would recommend Plimoth Plantation to anyone. Afterwards, we went to a local restaurant for lunch where I got delicious Arancini (Italian rice balls) with a side of spinach. Here are some pictures from Plimoth and lunch:

On Wednesday we went into Boston, even though it was rainy and chilly. We wandered around Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market doing Christmas shopping and exploring. For lunch, we met up with one of my dad's friends and ate at Wagamama. I first went to Wagamama in Covent Garden in London this past summer, and I loved it! It was the perfect place to go on a rainy day. Lots of soups, noodle bowls, curries, etc. The best thing to warm you up. After that we went on Newbury Street to do more shopping and go to a little coffee shop called Pavements which I absolutely love. I got the pumpkin cupcake and a hot apple cider. Yum!

Pretty Christmas Tree in Quincy Market!

For dinner, we went to the Legal C Bar on Market Street in Lynnfield where I got the steamed lobster. I only get this when I am up north and I wasn't disappointed.

Now back home for me!
