Boston in the rain...



We
decided it might be a good idea to ride out the fog and cold and make our way down to Boston on Tuesday via Freeport. Freeport, by the way, was pretty awesome as far as outlets and shopping goes. The L.L. Bean flagship store is there and so are a couple of key other outlets. A little chilly, but a shopping mission accomplished. Made it to Boston and had dinner in the North End (Giacomo's for those interested...excellent) and grabbed pastries at Mike's Pastries. Cannoli's and cookies on the street! Wednesday was chilly and foggy but we ended up taking a Duck Tour which gave us a road tour of Boston and then went straight into the Charles River to complete the tour. A view from the Duck below.



(By the way, a huge shout-out to my friend Mike for ALL the Boston recommendations!) The rain kicked in and we spent most of the day in the Museum of Science. We finally made a run for the hotel (got soaked), but took the opportunity to ride the T. Dinner that night was in Faneuil Hall Marketplace at Durgin-Park. Very good meal. Would have been nice to have better weather, but...
