I brought a good camera with me with a zoom lens and was expecting to get good shots but I accidentally brought a broken memory card with me instead of a good card. I ended using my iPhone 4S. Eventually, it ran out of battery and so I borrowed a friend's Android phone to get the rest of the dances. Unfortunately, I set it up incorrectly since I never shot videos on an Android phone before and so all the footage that I thought I was getting from his phone, I actually didn't get anything at all. I was basically shooting for nothing. Ahhh!!!! 2 bad lucks on the same day.

Chicago-to-Boston AA flight: Takeoff, Lake Michigan, Lake St. Clair, Lake Erie, Salem MA 2012-01-07
On a mostly clear enroute winter day, a Chicago-to-Boston flight climbs above Chicago's northern suburbs before crossing Lake Michigan to fly east along Michigan's I-94 corridor. Cloud deck below clears just west of Detroit, affording view of the expanse of metropolitan Detroit, followed by Lake St. Clair separating the State of Michigan from the Province of Ontario. After glimpses at a few southwestern Ontario agricultural towns, the flight path hugs the Ontario shore of eastern Lake Erie, providing view of Great Lakes steamer-era ports and current-era summer resort towns. Flight re-enters the U.S. south of Buffalo NY, bringing views of a couple of Upstate New York's Finger Lakes before cloud deck returns until western Massachusetts. The opening reveals pioneer-era mill towns established during America's early industrialization era along one New England river. Salem, Massachusetts, comes into full view as the flight approaches the Atlantic coast to circle to land to the west at Boston Logan Airport.

America's Stonehenge on the Autumnal Equinox in Salem, New Hampshire
SALEM, N.H. — Using the astronomical chart on a table in the covered tower, visitors aim their gaze along worn arrows to huge, upright stones hundreds of feet away. Beyond each slab of granite, clearings stretch the eye to the horizon on a dazzling day in late summer New Hampshire.
On Wednesday's autumnal equinox, people will flock to the woods near the Massachusetts state line, watch the sun rise or fall over the huge chunks of granite and decide for themselves whether they're standing amid relics of ancient history or pure hooey.
This is “America's Stonehenge,” a weird, one-acre grouping of rock configurations named for the mysterious formation on England's Salisbury Plain. It has drawn believers who say it's a thousand or more years old and skeptics who say the evidence suggests it was the work of a 19th century shoemaker.
For $12, visitors get to meander along well-trod footpaths through walls of stacked granite, some overtopped with slabs that weigh several tons to form cave-like enclosures like the “Sundeck” chamber and “V-hut.” The spooky centerpiece is the “Oracle” chamber, complete with what is billed as a secret bed and a speaking tube where words spoken from inside the chamber could be heard outside at the equally eerie “Sacrificial Table.”
Owner Dennis Stone firmly believes the site — called “Mystery Hill Caves” when it opened in 1958 — is as much as 4,000 years old, the work of Native Americans or perhaps ancient Europeans who arrived millennia before Columbus.
Stone said three carbon dating efforts indicate the site was used about 4,000 years ago and one fire pit is 7,300 years old. (Scientists say the research proves only that there was a fire and that none of those dates is linked to human activity.)
Anthropologists and archaeologists believe America's Stonehenge was more likely the homestead of shoemaker Jonathan Pattee, who settled here in 1823.
In his 2006 book “The Archaeology of New Hampshire: Exploring 10,000 Years in the Granite State,” Plymouth State University archaeologist David Starbuck called America's Stonehenge “unquestionably provocative, puzzling and, above all, controversial.”
Starbuck notes the 19th century quarrying marks on many of the stones and said the site has been altered so many times over the decades — particularly by owner and researcher William Goodwin starting in 1936 — that there will never be a way to settle the argument over its genesis.
“There is probably no serious, trained archaeologist who believes that it was created thousands of years ago,” Starbuck said.
“There's a huge burden of proof when you make controversial claims,” he said. “They've always had that problem. That doesn't take away from the inherent interest in that site. It is a curious place and it is worth visiting.”

Dunkin' Donuts - Lawrence, MA
Since I had to wait quite a bit for the next MVRTA Bus back to Haverhill, I decided to go the Dunkin' Donuts off of Essex Street in Lawrence as well. Of course, I knew that I had to place my order in English because I know Lawrence is primarily a Hispanic community (Many Lawrence residents are bilingual because they are fluent in Spanish as well as English). But regardless of that, Dunkin' Donuts is still a great donuts and coffee chain. Enjoy!
