Lobster Roll Quest
The next morning, the Firecracker woke up bright and early to check out the city while I slept in.
After she got back, I got dressed and we headed out to Faneuil Hall Square for our Independence Pub Crawl, something else that was part of the Boston package we booked.
Gotta say, it was far more interesting that I thought it was gonna be and 2.5 hours went by pretty quickly.
The weirdest thing was I ran into my buddy Kar’s husband and three kiddos there.
Me: Frenchie! What are you doing here?!
Him: I was just telling [the kids], “Hey, I think that’s Logan.”
Wild.
Me: Isn’t that nuts?
Firecracker: (shrugging) Not really. You know a lotta people.
We caught up for just a few minutes before we had to return to our tour group.
We ended up hitting up four historical pubs and drinking at each of them…
…even ordering some oysters at one of them.
Another traveler: You two got food?
Firecracker: We figured they didn’t have to cook them and we could just down them.
Him: Smart.
After we left the group, we ended up checking out the Boston Public Market…
…where we had a little snack of Boston clam chowder…
Her: Normally, I’d consider hot clam chowder in the summertime crazy, but we’re in Boston.
Me: Yup, I get it. Let’s do it.
…before heading off to Faneuil Hall.
Her: I really want a lobster roll, now.
Me: I don’t have a problem with that, but I wanna sit.
We had originally planned to get her a lobster roll over at the Boston Sail Loft, but the wait was too long, so we headed off to Joe’s Waterfront instead.
Her: Finally, lobster roll!
Me: I need a salad because I feel like a fatty-fat-fat, what with alla that drinking we’ve been doing.
It was only a mile walk back to our hotel and, despite the heat and humidity, I figured the walk would be good for my back, so off we went.
After alla the sun, food, and booze, we both needed a quickie nap before exploring Chinatown at night.
I’ll tell you about that in the next entry.
Location: my superheated room
Mood: sweaty
Music: Forever and not at all, with a boathouse (Spotify)
