Did I just wake up from a nightmare or is summer really over? I didn’t realize it until we woke up in Boston and I was freezing my butt off. This trip has come a long ways since 115 in Yuma, AZ. We might have to switch out the AC unit for a heater for the home stretch. To get a feel for the city, we thought a duck tour would be a fun way to see the area and kind of plan out our stay in Boston. The tour was a little overpriced, but our guide was funny, told a lot of jokes, and everything in Boston was wicket so it was worth it. We met up with my uncle’s friend Steve afterwards for a bite to eat and he invited us to stay at his house which we obviously accepted seeing as how we haven’t had a house to go to in a while. The plan for the next day was to walk the Freedom Trail and see all the sites, but before we got started, there was a huge crowd standing outside a church downtown so we had to investigate. We found out there was a movie being filmed and that Dane Cook, Kate Hudson and Alec Baldwin were on the set. There’s a picture of Kate in our picture section if you want to see how pretty she is. Boston is a lot smaller than New York City so after walking the Freedom Trail which was like five miles long, we saw most of the sites. They included: the Boston Common, the old State House where the Boston Massacre occurred, the USS Constitution, Paul Revere’s house, the North End, the Bunker Hill Monument, and Beacon Hill.
After that we headed off to America’s first college, Hahvahd, to beat up some smaht kids. We didn’t actually beat up any smaht kids, that’s just a line from one of my favorite movies, Good Will Hunting. During our self-guided tour of Hahvahd, a friend of a friend that lives in Boston called to meet up with us for drinks. Her name is Karin and she’s a very nice girl. The next day wasn’t one to write about because it rained all day, but I did have a chance to play tennis against my nemesis, Steve. I thought about letting him win to be nice, but my competitive nature kicked in and I was able to persevere in the end. There’s always next time Steve. On Wednesday we met up with an old friend, David Tarr, at MIT where he goes to school. He’s wicket smart. David showed us through some labs at MIT, we saw some crazy stuff like a fully autonomous vehicle meaning it controls itself by learning on its own. Good luck in the Navy David. We couldn’t leave Boston without seeing a Sox game at Fenway Pahk, America’s first ballpark. I never thought I would actually get to see the green monstah in real life, next time I’ll have to sit up there. The game was pretty boring, but it got interesting towards the end with the Sox down one in the bottom of the ninth. With one on and one out, David Ortiz (Big Papi) was up to bat which means you’re in trouble if you’re the opposing team. He already hit a home run earlier in the game, but for the icing on the cake, he hit another one to win the game and everyone went crazy. What a way to end our visit in Boston.
