Re Massachusetts, can't recommend it enough. Boston is pretty much like London except in miniature. The architectural styles -- and the jumble of them -- are very similar. Some places are so similar it's a bit eerie. Like the first time I went to Covent Garden I was like "OMG! I've been here! It's Fanueil Hall!" Even the subway is similar; not tubes but I think the oldest system in the U.S., second oldest in world next to I think London. Beyond Boston there is much more, like Cape Anne, in the northeast portion, where I'm from. All the classic seafaring, whaling towns like Gloucester, Salem, Manchester-by-the-Sea, etc. Out where my parents live, maybe 1 1/2 hrs. west of Boston, it is all small towns and villages, pretty much all with those white steepled churches and 300-year-old colonial houses. I grew up in Andover, again, up in the northeast new New Hampshire. I think the town was founded in 1642 and there are a ton of really old houses -- just about as old as you get in the U.S. My brother-in-laws parents live in a house from about 1720 and it is so quaint, with built-in panels of art and a killer staircase. No idea how they got furniture upstairs
I am rambling I know but I am procrastinating about starting work today
