USA Vacation - Boston

I had originally planned on doing touristy stuff in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 3rd, but due to the oncoming hurricane "Arthur" those plans got somewhat thwarted. I wanted to get a guided tour around the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), but the one I wanted was cancelled, so I ended up walking a bit in the area myself not really knowing where to go or what I was looking at, and only outside the buildings. Finally I wanted to do a "Duck Tour" with an amphibian bus driving around Boston, but that was also cancelled. These events weren't necessarilly cancelled because of the oncoming hurricane, but because of the hurricane the July 4th concert and fireworks had been moved up one day, so everything was cancelled because of the concert. I had planned on going to the concert anyways, but since it had moved up one day I spent the rest of the afternoon queueing and attending the concert. On July 4th the hurricane had arrived. Not with so much wind, but with lots of rain, so that day I spent in the hotel not being able to do anything, as it was still July 4th and just about everything was closed.
