Boston, MA
There’s a teapot made to commemorate the repeal of the Stamp Act that I have seen in a plethora of books, TV shows and documentaries on the American Revolution. It’s pretty nifty to walk into a room and see it sitting in a case just inside the door. Gives you a little connection to the past and a feeling that you’ve seen something that’s been noticed.
That was my experience in the Peabody-Essex Museum in Salem, Mass. All kinds of nifty stuff scattered around an enormous museum of seafaring artifacts and Eastern artworks.
As an extra-added bonus I got to wander around Salem a little bit and have a really mind-blowing drink on a ferry ride back to Boston Harbor followed up with fried clam bellies and beers at the Barking Crab. Good stuff. Good day. Good way to end a stay in Boston.
