Captain Morgan’s Freedom Trail

Come on now, what does Boston really have to offer other than Fenway and Star Wars Episode III… Well there is just a little bit of history associated with it, like the American Revolution. So Tony took us on the Boston Freedom Trail which meanders through downtown, stopping at points of interest like John Hancock’s grave (first dude to sign the declaration of independence), Quincy’s Market (there’s just too much pizza in that place), the church steeple associated with the famous quote “one if by land, two if by sea,” little italy (again, too much pizza), Paul Revere’s house, the USS Constitution, and Bunker Hill (which is really Breed’s Hill for all you non-history buffs). We took many crazy pictures and in some we paid homage to our med school friend, Captain Morgan (granted, we weren’t always so coordinated, I think Tony was doing an Irish jig or something… he’s such a good sport). But even with all the history we saw, there is still much history left unsaid.

Then finally finally finally, we found a Trader Joes and I finally got my chocolate covered espresso beans that I had been craving for days. You don’t know how hard it is to be internally preoccupied with the question, “DO YOU KNOW WHERE TRADER JOES IS?” It was killing me, just as much as that Star Wars shirt was killing Alvin. Ok, well not exactly to that degree.

We ended our night the way a Bostonian would – in a bar, with good friends and good ale. I think Boston’s grown on us, but tomorrow we move on.
