We have just been to see 28 weeks later at the cinema, urgh, it's a bit bloody, but a good film, again the Americans were heckling, it's obviously the norm over here!
Last night we went to an Irish Bar in the Northern Quarter which is predominantly Italian, you are expected to tip bar staff and waitresses 15% of the overall bill. Last night we got 2 Magners (Irish Cider) and it came to $9, Matt only had a $20 bill so he gave her that, to which she asked "do you need change from that" I wouldnt mind but she only brought us two bottles of beer and plonked em on the table, it's hardly going above and beyond the call of duty is it??
We then went to a great Italian (www.aldenteboston.com), one of the best Italians we've ever been to is in Prague and we were introduced to it by Steen and Nicola, but I have to say this one came pretty close last night, it was yummy, we had 2 courses each and drinks and it only came to $70 (inc of tip), it's like Hull prices!!
Matt is uploading some more pics to the blog today, lots of Times Square, some of the Empire which may be a bit blurred and then lots of Boston, hope you enjoy.
We spoke to our parents yesterday for the 1st time since we've been away , we got a phone card for $5 and managed to talk for almost an hour, it took us almost as long as that to actually figure out how to use it.
I meant to say when we went to the Empire Building on Saturday we saw a 7 year old James Brown lookalike, he was a dead ringer for him, with a mass of black hair, we found it really amusing and got the giggles, then everywhere we were, he seemed to be too, you had to be there to appreciate it.
We spent a lot of time in the Hells Kitchen part of New York when we were there as it's right near where we were staying, it used to be really rough there years ago, but it is a really bohemian kind of place now.
Anyway I can feel this post getting less and less interesting so I'll go check my email instead...

Hi there,
You make me jealous. Sounds like you are having a fab time. It is funny reading about Boston, sounds like you are doing the bits we did. Freedom trail, Harvard etc. Don't forget to try the Barking Crab if you have time and can find it. Love the photos, they got the American feel to it, by the way Matt, there is a setting in Flickr that allows you to sort the pictures in date order, as apart from back to front. Keep blogging, speak to you later.

Hehe - was little Jimmy clicking his fingers and singing 'I live in America'.
Can just imagine you two in the flicks too with all the noisy yanks . 'Ssssshh...shurrup....I 'cart' ear it!'. You shoulda gone to ask the lady to turn it up. Hehe. Mind you Maf-phew is a dab hand at heckling at Comedy Clubs ;O)
Love to you both
