I absolutely LOVE Boston area. I got in yesterday and was greeted by the Craig family. So excited to see them again and to have a friendly place to stay. We went right to the North End for dinner. We went to a famous pizza joint (Regina's Pizza) and it was incredible: not the best service but that is not what they are known for, it is the pizza. And it is so delicious... close to what I had in Naples! Then we went to Mike's Bakery for dessert: I had been warned and I was so impressed. Amazing italian pastries...again, not great service but who cares?
Today I ventured into Boston. My feet are killing me but it was a great day. I did the complete Freedom Trail: a path through Boston which goes to all the major historical sights in the area. It was long but I was able to see so much and experience the dynamic neighbourhoods and interesting people of Boston. Oh, I fell in love with this city! My favourite neighbourhoods were the North End (the Italian area) and Beacon Hill, the posh but architecturally stunning area. Oh, if I only had money!! I just wandered throughout the city, absording all the sights, sounds and smells (all positive!). A great view of the city was from the Prudential City Skywalk: a 360 view of the city from 50 floors up. Downtown, Financial District, different neighbourhoods and of course Fenway Park. What a view!
So obviously I love this area. And I was so glad to leave New York: this is more my style. Although, a redeeming quality of New York is Broadway. I did go to a broadway show on my last night. I went to see "Avenue Q": so amazing! Muppets for an adult crowd but so relavent and true. My first broadway and I was hooked. If only it was cheaper (or free).
So, I feel great and am looking forward to tomorrow in Boston. Maybe a Red Sox game at Fenway? I'll keep you posted.
Love, Lisa
P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!! I LOVE YOU!
