Pumpkins & Quincy Market in Boston, Massachusetts
Mar 15th, 2007 | By admin | Category: Travel JournalLast October we visited Boston, Massachussets on the Norwegian Dawn. In the spring, summer and autumn it’s a very charming city. I liked autumn in New England, we had lots of sunny weather and clear blue skies. The red, orange and brown foliage colours made everywhere look very beautiful. Like a modern fairytale, with a touch of New England romance.
Beacon Hill is one of my favourite parts of Boston. I like wandering around looking at the old buildings. One of Boston’s appeals is it’s history. I also like spotting places I know in the Nicholas Cage movie National Treasure. For instance the chase scene in Quincy Market.
I also liked the charming habit of putting pumpkins out on doorsteps. This is something I saw all over New England and Nova Scotia, Canada. The pumpkins went very well with the warm red brick of Beacon Hill and other old parts of Boston.

Quincy Market, Boston - Location of cool chase scene in National Treasure. Great place to buy food when you’re hungry. Lots of food stalls inside. Lots of interesting shops outside.
