I have commited treason

Yes, as the title suggests I have committed treason. Treason against the crown of England. As a memeber of the Sons of Liberty, I, Gilbert Colseworthy, a caulker, have December 16th, 1773 stood up against the monopoly of the British East India Company and the opression from the Parlament towards the colonies. By throwing all the tea into the harbour we have shown our displeasure with the treatment of us. This will surley be the start of something great for us. Huzzah!

With that little intro, probably not completley historically correct, I will tell you about how I, the 21st of June went to the Boston Tea Party Museum. Probably the best, if not one of the best museum I've ever been to. With some great acting and invlovment of the people coming to the tour. Starting with giving you a new identity and a funny meeting where you get to shout, hiss, stomp and clap to the speaker about the events of December 16th, 1773. Continuing with a tour of a replica of one of the two ships. Then telling you about everything which leads up to the start of the American Revolution. A great and fun museum showing everything from casues to consequenses in a interesting and entertaining way. It has somewhat of a brighter tone than maybe other museums which usally seem to center history as something dark and serious. Something that can turn the experience boring as the exhibitons can be long. Although it might be important to be serious (ex museums about WWII) I would be happy to see more museums being more light hearted like this one.

After the museum I continued through Boston to see some of the tall ships participating in Sail Boston.

Seeing the ships was pretty awsome but I got hungry so I went to a fancy mexican resturant.
The guacamole was made in front of me and it was amazing.

June 22nd
The following day I went to the witch town Salem and visited the witch museum. Another awsome experience.

Salem Witch Museum
A museum about the witch trials in Salem. A pretty awsome experience. It's not just the museum being inspired by witches, the whole town has something to do with witches. Having several witch shops making the whole town having an awsome atmosphere.


Going back into Boston I found a place to play some drums which I haven't done for several months. It felt great going there and being able to play some drums. The place is called Jamspot and it cost me 15 bucks for an hour.


For now I'm out cya!
