Biking around Boston
The next day, we both woke up at a reasonable time and did a quickie little bike tour around Boston.
One of the perks of the hotel we were staying at was that they had bikes and helmets you could borrow so we took advantage.
One fun thing we found out was that there are alleyways in Boston that span several blocks, if not miles, and are a great way to get around while checking out fancy townhouses.
That was an unexpectedly fun little distraction.
Afterward, we took the train out to check out the Charles River Boat Tour.
Despite the heat, humidity, and the rando rainstorms that appeared outta nowhere and disappeared just as quickly, it was pretty comfortable and cool.
Her: I’ve been to Boston a few times before, but this is my first time seeing it from the river.
Me: Same!
Afterward, we took the train home, but our plans were thrown off a bit because there was an almost 30-minute train delay.
So, we barely had any time at the hotel before we had to dash off for dinner.
She’d made some reservations at Yvonne, a pretty well-known restaurant on the same block as our hotel, that we had to move back a bit.
It was worth the wait, though.
Both for the absolutely delish food…
…and the amazing atmosphere.
Waiter: …and the bar is the original bar that was created in the 1700s.
Me: Get outta here.
Him: It’s true.
They ended up mixing up some stuff and comping us an additional entree…
…which – shockingly – I couldn’t finish.
It happens from time-to-time.
So, we brought that back to the hotel room before heading back out to check out a speakeasy called The Wig Shop that the Firecracker picked out.
But this is getting long, so I’ll wrap up our Boston trip in the next entry.
Location: home, dealing with flood aftermath
Mood: humid and wet
Music: If this world’s a circle, I got no time for them squares (Spotify)
