Our Next Date Takes Boston!

This weekend we headed to Boston on a quest to see if the years long statement made by Keith was true. That Boston has better food then NYC. I beg to differ….but he still stands strong. First Stop: Chacuraro….what is it you ask? Chilean Bread (it’s all about the bread) with your choice of Chicken or Beef (or both for all of those risk takers) , string beans (yes in the sandwich), tomatoes, avocado spread and special sauce… Keith has been talking about these for nearly 8 years. I went into it expecting to have the Best Sandwich of My Life….it was good but nothing I can ever see myself craving again. He’s still shaking his head in disgust. For all of you who have never been to Boston word to the wise- don’t wear flip flops or you’ll find yourself like me, in the middle of Downtown Crossing looking for a store that sells sneakers. But new sneakers don’t actually mean comfort…so the new sneakers ending up causing me more blisters then my old flip flops! The best thing about Boston is there’s so much to see but you can definitely cover it in just a couple of days. The city is pretty small and no matter what area you decide to explore, chances are you will end up right back there later on in the day. I think we saw the Commons about 16 times. Everything is one big circle. We checked in at the Intercontinental Hotel, an amazing 5 star hotel that we scored on Hotwire for so cheap, then headed to Old Granary Burying Ground to see John Hancock’s, Paul Revere’s and Benjamin Franklin’s Tombs. The rest of the afternoon we spent walking through the Boston Commons, Newbury Street, and Faneuil Hall where we had delicious Italian food and watched some great street performers, an Acapella Group, a Tap Group and the cutest little boys doing a jazz routine. We caught the 8pm Ghosts & Gravestones Trolley, a Trolley tour that takes you all through the city at night while the tour guide tells you the real stories that happened in Boston…we went to two grave yards at night…in the dark VERY freaky! Yesterday was the day Keith was waiting for – a trip to Fenway, unfortunately we didn’t get to go to a game but had a chance to see the Stadium, go in all of the Red Sox stores around the area, take some pictures and topped it off with Blueberry Beer at Boston Beer Works. Boston’s a great weekend trip!
