Day 19 – Monday 18th August, 2014 – Independence St, Canton, MA

Canton, MA Monday 18th August 2014 The penultimate day of our trip, then only one more full day to go before we have to pack ! Making the most of the good weather and sitting out on the deck in the cooler morning sunshine.

Had a brilliant visit this morning to an Airstream dealership in nearby Stoughton

Airstream of New England, Stoughton, MA

Such an iconic piece of Americana

Who wouldn’t want to own one of these? 

The rep. was really helpful and showed us the interiors of several models. As visitors from England he probably knew we were not there to buy, but was incredibly hospitable nonetheless. All very much appreciated.

This has been my holiday reading…amongst other stuff ! John Adams lived in Braintree, which is around 8 miles from Canton, MA – so has been appropriately local reading for this trip…
