After our elderhostel, I took the bus to Boston to visit the Museum of Fine Arts and the Isabella Gardner Museum nearby, where I spent the whole afternoon. The next day I took the train to Salem to see the Yin Yu Tang, a 200 year old Chinese house, which has been relocated from China and put together at the Peabody Essex Museum.
