BOSTON!

Hello BOston! So the only rainy day this week had to be the only day I had to tour Boston- the coolest city on the east coast! (in my opinion.) My greatest friend in the world, Rich Alley, flew out for a short business trip this week and I was able to fly up for the weekend to hang out with him. Boy was it good to see a face from home... I have to admit, I've been missing Utah a wee bit this week. So we started the day with the Freedom trail; a 2 1/2 mile walk about that passes through historical places througout the city. It was awesome even in the rain and thin slippers. By the end of the day we had almost worn through both our locals.

This was the bridge that crossed over to where bunker hill was. I love harbors and this was a highlight of the trail. When we got to the location of the battle of bunker hill, we tried to run up the obelesk- 294 stairs... I'm still sore from the attempt. I don't know why I didn't take pictures. The view was definitley worth the climb!

It doesn't get much more Boston than this! Rich and were following the red brick freedom trail when we came across a little tavern and got sucked in by two men, Frankie and Joey, the heart of Boston. If I ever imagined a Boston accent, this was it. These guys had us pinned for twenty minutes taking pictures with them and expounding upon Utah and Poligamy. We tried to explain that that wasn't in practice anymore with our religion...but that was a waste of hot air. They were awesome and definitely made the day genuine! Open air market, smelled like fish.

Who wants Bartley Burgers I DO I DO!! Talk about the sluttiest burger you've ever fantasized about...this was it! Bartley's is a nation wide favorite, famous for their burgers. We had to wait in line outside for almost 30 minutes at lunch time. I've neve had a burger that was an inch and a half thick. If I die this week, you'll know what it was from. Mad cow disease or something..

FENWAY PARK
Oh yeah did we ever! Rich got this bright idea to sneak into Fenway park, so we did. And you know what...it never pays to be sneaky! We totally got caught and rudely thrown out even after trying to bribe the little snot with $100. I think I have to change my status from a Red Sox fan to a Yankee fan...What a laugh though!
Instead, we got to ride a pedicab to the the other side of town and almost died! Our peddler was crazy! I was laughing the entire time and so was Rich.
