Took the train out to Newburyport to have Lunch at The Deck in Salisbury, lol. Then i spent a few hours in Newburyport, had some amazing Gelato. Then went back to Boston, where i took a stroll in Charlestown and finished off Freedom trail wich we never did last time out. Then i went to Regina's Pizza and had probably best pizza ever.

Wednesday 6/28
Took the train to NYC from Bridgeport, checked in to the hotel, did some fast shopping then i went out to Meadowlands to see U2 at Metlife stadium. Blows my mind that this stadium cost $1.6 billion while it looks like a glorified parking garage where the concession stands are and so on. Compare it to the "cheaper" AT&T Stadium in Arlington . Anyways as allways with U2 great concert.

Thursday 6/29
Spent the most of the early day resting after being worn out during the concert. Grabbed some delicious donuts from Krispy Kreme and rested up myself before going out to concert number 2. And again, great concert even if i was in the stands this gig "felt" better.

Friday 6/30
Went out to Woodbury Commons Outlet to do shopping. Then i went out to see Baby Driver and had an amazing theatre experience at a Dolby Atmos theatre. Great great time. Very good movie as well. Did a quick visit to Times Sq but man is it too busy and crowded to be enjoyed.

Saturday 7/1
Took a 6 hour guided tour that started at the Cohen statue at Times Sq at 9.30 am and ended at 9/11 memorial at around 3.30 pm. Best way to experience New York as a newcomer tourist probably. The guide is a passionate new yorker and tells you in debth about the places.

Hope you enjoy the post. The US remains my favourite place to go and visit abroad, always have a amazing time there. Hope to go back soon! To visit in the fall and catch some NFL football, been long overdue.
