The other day I remarked that I may have missed a day of blogging, and it would appear I was mistaken. I had just done it in a seriously shortened version, in the wee hours of the morn. For anyone that cares....
Anyhow, our "Most Excellent Boston Adventure" continues today, as we are preparing to jump on a subway, to attend a World War II amphibious "duck" ride. It will tour us through Boston, and at some point prove to us that it is indeed capable of water propulsion. We are told to sit in the middle, definitely not at the back...
After that, we will be in the general area of The Boston Museum Of Fine Arts, and plan on adding that to our visit. It just so happens that a famous picture (immortalized even in Bugs Bunny cartoons), "Whistler's Mother" is here for a showing, so we have at least one brush with greatness on this trip...
Actually, we've had many brushes with greatness so far. Our hotel is right around the corner from a historic graveyard, eternally housing the parents of Benjamin Franklin, in addition to the remains of Thomas Jefferson, Mr & Mrs Paul Revere, and Mother Goose to name a few. Yes, Mother Goose. Pretty wild, eh??
The restaurant in our hotel (Omni Parker House) has seen the likes of Charles Dickens, John Wilkes Booth, and in this very restaurant, John F Kennedy is said to have proposed to Jackie. We are nutty for U.S. history...
Anyway, better run. We've got to grab a breakfast on the run. More to come!!!
Chow for now!
