Northampton

On Thursday, after sleeping off our hangovers, Will
and I spent a couple more hours in downtown Boston.
I bought more clothes I don't need and which I
definitely won't be able to fit back in my bag when it's
time to pack up the van, which is becoming closer, and
more welcome, by the day.

Will wanted to visit some tacky replica of the Boston Tea
Party ship, but there had been a fire in the gift shop and
they'd closed the whole thing down. Shucks.

In the afternoon, we drove west to Northampton to meet
up with Will Morgan, Will's friend from LA, who was in MA
for work. We parked up in a Walmart and then Will came
over to take us out for burritos and pink lemonade.

On Friday, desperate for showers but lacking means, Will and
I got $10 haircuts, which at least solved 30% of my cleanliness
issues.

The three of us spent the rest of the afternoon playing pool,
eating chicken and drinking beer in a bunch of bars. Northampton
was a wicked little place, even if it is 'Lesbianville USA'.

Not my words; The National Enquirer's.

Anyway, we had a real good night with Will Morgan, maybe
because was our first outside stimulus for several weeks!
I even trusted him with my garlic plant I started growing.
Although I fear his heart may not be in it!

This morning Will M picked us up and took us back to his
house, or his ex Sarah's house, for showers. Sarah's
bathroom was the nicest smelling place I've ever had
the pleasure of being naked in. She had one of those
fragrance candles, and the excitement I felt at this smell
made me realise how much of a tramp I have become.

Smelling nice, we went for bagels before saying bye to Will
and leaving Massachusetts for New York state once again.

Driving through snow and battling the wind, we drove through
the capital, Albany, and pulled up at a truck stop off the interstate.

We're currently sat in the cafe using the free wireless that all
New York rest stops appear to have; I imagine this is somehow
meant to justify the endless tolls in this state.
