The plan was to walk Freedom Trail and explore the Quincy Market. The trail actually took us right to the market which was pretty convient, I was really surprised how calm the city was especially after being in New York. The market is were things started picking up, there was some girls dance contest going on so you could hear the music from miles away! The market had a really cool vibe to it, there were magicians and dancers everywhere. Joe and I decided to eat at a place called Dicks which I have to say was one of the best eating experiences of my life. Our waitress had a DEA T-shirt on that stood for Drink Every Afternoon so we knew it was going to be a good meal straight away, I asked for a Bud Light but was told I couldn't have that for some reason and I had to be surprised by some local beer which was fine. So the waitress had taken full control and put the icing on the cake when she gave both me and Joe a huge hat made of paper and she wrote a little something on each of ours that we weren't supposed to read, mine said "I love Dick" and Joe's said "Ask me about my rash". Needless to say we got a lot of looks and smiles from the passing crowd as we were sat right by the entrance!
After some more strolling around we decided to go back to the park that we originally started at to just relax, we walked into a very different situation. It turns out that this day was a huge Hippie Hemp Festival, it was called the Boston Freedom Festival. It was literally like walking into a cloud of marijuana, the cops were just stood around because I don't think there was much they could do with a few thousand people smoking weed and jamming to the live music. It was insane and the people just kept coming for miles!When we decided to leave we just headed back to the hotel but oh that wasn't such an easy task as we ended up riding the train past Fenway Park with all the Res Sox fans to the game. It was one of the busiest subway stations I have ever seen and it really made me want to go to the game! Well after a day that started out really peaceful and quiet, it ended up being one of the most crazy experiences of my life, I think it's fair to say that Boston has it all.
After a great night sleep in a real bed and not an air mattress which was really just a bit of a cushion on a wood floor, we woke up for our final day in Boston. When we got to Riverside station again a cop was blocking the way saying that the station was full, this sucked, but we thought lets just drive in. The drive in really wasn't that bad, we managed to park right by the New England Aquarium which is where we were heading that day. The Aquarium was pretty cool but it was a lot smaller than I imagined it, luckily enough there was plenty of entertainment from the Penguins, especially when one penguin was literally spanking another and when the penguin who was on the receiving end walked away, the first penguin just chased her ass down! Also we got to touch some Sting Rays which was an experience. We made out way over the water to the old naval yard and saw some of the old battle ships, we actually had to go through security to see the USS Constitution which I still can't understand, just incase someone wanted to high jack this old boat that has been docked for years? Who knows but it was cool to see. The day came to a close by watching the Emmys, all I wanted was for Jim Parsons to win Best Lead in a Comedy and he did! A great end to a great day.
It's been fun Boston, thanks for having us.
