Boston Trip: Day 2 - Part 1(the 6 hour walk)

We got up at around 7 this morning (eastern Time). After getting a healthy breakfast from Dunkin Doughnuts (whose bagels suck by the way) we headed downtown on the bus… 20 minutes later we are about a block from the convention centre (Hynes). We check in to the center and register and get our pretty purses (why the hell do they give out bags???) and head out to explore the city… first stop, we decide is the Boston Aquarium. So we ask for directions. A security guard for the mall the convention center is next to helps us out and points us in the right direction, but we decided to check the mall out and get an early lunch, I have a tasty club on a croissant and Aaron has sushi. We then head for the aquarium, the map says a 30 minute walk… we make it in 50… only because A: I stopped in the commons to take pics of every squirrel I see (they are fucking HUGE) and we stop at starbucks (one of the 12 or so we passed today) for some refreshment.

The aquarium is awesome. We see lots of neat fish (pics to come) and turtles and sharks, etc… admission wasn’t too bad at 15.50/person USD. We hang there for an hour or so and then go exploring… we get lost… WAY lost.. it takes us an hour or so to find the commons again. After that we check out a cool mac-internet café and I upload my pics form the digital camera (will be posted later) and then we try and get back to the hotel… We find our bus again, and take a 45 minute rush-hour ride back to Newton (where our hotel is) we happen to be on the last run for that particular bus, and miss our stop (figuring it will pull around again to where we got on) but the driver is nice and drops us off anyway. It is now 6pm and we are going to Applebee’s again… (yes Mer, I know…)

c. out…
