Woke up this morning feeling all warm and fuzzy. After yesterday’s snow dump on us, it feels so good getting out of it in retrospect. What time is it? Crap. Kamala is gonna be here any minute. Time to get ready. It’ll take us 2 seconds because we don’t have to gear up. Going in Kamala’s van today! After our last attempt in Boston on our motorbikes, I feel much relieved that we can soak it all in without having to worry about jumping over cars in one-way traffic. Said our goodbyes to the pups Hanna and Muttley and off we went.

It felt neat to be in the area where it all started and what sparked the American Revolution. It's weird, but it doesn't feel all that too long ago and to see how people lived compared to how we live now...wow. I wonder what the world is gonna be like when we're 70 years old. If wasn’t for DirtGrlll and Kamala, experiencing this would never had happened. Stomachs are growlin. Time to pick up DirtGrlll and get some chow…chowder that is.

| The prestigious MIT off in the distance in the hustle & bustle of Boston... |

After lunch, DirtGrlll went back to work and the three of us continued onwards toward the Freedom Trail.

 |
| I feel...I don't know...what do you call it... |
 |

 |
| Live entertainment along the way |
 |
| What goodies can we find in here? |
 |
| Some historic facts passed along |
 |
| The USS Constitution |
 |
| This is how they would sleep aboard the Constitution |
We wrapped the day over a nice spaghetti dinner and shot the breeze over what was to come next…Gloucester. Time to capture The Perfect Storm moment. I felt bad that DirtGrll had to work the next day and couldn’t join us…
To Boston by van!
Saw what we needed to see.
Made it out alive.
