Inserted 01/23/18:
After two fun weeks in Europe, it was time to hit some U.S. locations for a little while. After flying from Iceland to Boston, Dad continued on to Chicago while Carl and I spent a few days in Boston staying with Chris. We kept our time in Boston low key since we’d been on the go a lot in Europe and were looking forward to some down time. We flirted with the idea of renting a car and driving to Maine, but reconsidered once we realized how nice it would be to sit still for a little bit. Instead we went to the gym, cooked meals, finally drank the Mumm champagne we’d carried with us through several countries, and watched movies at Chris’s house. We did decide to go whale watching one day for the first time ever and it was awesome!! We had a beautiful day for a boat ride and saw several minke and humpback whales. Our guide was very fun and started geeking out because we saw a whale that she had a part in naming and because we saw a whale come to the surface with it’s mouth open which apparently is really rare to see. Her enthusiasm definitely made for an even better tour.
