Boston home of the missing r... wata, butta, monsta, fucka... great clam chowda and lobsta rolls... my summer dream home... Bobby and Leslie... oh and everyone knows your name..... Who knew Matt was such a Cheers fan, I didn't, til we got to Cheers - even had to buy the beer mugs and take several pics of JUST himself under the Cheers sign AND get an personally autographed picture of none other than Sam's lawyer on the show, ya no idea he was such a fan. Boston is great it has more pubs than any place I've ever been and the good kind of pubs - think D.B.'s but smaller. The first day we had our own personal tour guide - Leslie. We visited Cheers and Boston Public Gardens (probably my favorite part of the city) and created our own mini-pub crawl. It was a ton of fun. The second day brought Fenway park, which is pretty awesome even if you are not a baseball fan. It's the oldest baseball stadium in the country 1912, still has some of the orginal chairs and a manually operated score board. That night we went to dinner in the North End - Italian central.... streets and streets filled only with authentic Italian food, not to mention gelatio. The third day we visited Rockport (a little sea-side village), which consisted of a drive up the North coast and the closest I've ever been to a tropical storm / hurricane. I had some of the best clam chowda I have ever tasted. The night brought heavy drinking, although 50% of party wimped out. Our final day we drove to Cape Cod. I heart Cape Cod. That is the way to spend a summer... beach, wine, relaxation. It is exactly like you picture it in your head, straight out of a Martha Stewart magazine. Thanks to Bobby and Leslie for taking a chance and moving to Boston, we wouldn't have been able to expierence it without them... can't wait to do it again, only next time, summer in Cape Cod and I might not come home......
