Kieran drove us from Boston to his place in Portsmouth where we met their cool cat, Cowboy, and had some lovely BBQ’d prawns for lunch in the glorious, but very hot, sunshine. We then took a look around Portsmouth; the seaside town is a very old settlement (for the USA), established in the early 17th century, and has lots of old colonial-style buildings and a historic naval shipyard. The town is fairly small (Stroud sized) and is close to lots of nice beaches.
We had some sangria and blueberry beer on the waterfront and then went to a cafe for our first taste of clam chowder (which is really nice) and cake. We had beers at Kieran’s old house with his previous housemates then went to watch some fireworks (postponed from independence day celebrations due to weather). We met a guy called Seth who has an etsy shop selling shorts made from vintage and reclaimed trousers. He’s coming around tomorrow so that Will can choose a pair of shorts (on the house – yey!).
Bitey bitey count: Louise 7 mosquito bites Will: 9 mosquito bites.
