So it is currently pouring down with rain in Boston, which is delaying our plans for the day until it subsides. Given I haven't blogged in ages, now seems the perfect time!
We went to one more show on Broadway, titled 'Bullets over Broadway', written by Woody Allen and starring Zach Braff of Scrubs fame. As they did not sell out, we got directed to better seats, which was nice. It was pretty funny.
We spent a few days with one of Jess' best friends Debbie, who was one of the signees of our wedding register. As well as seeing the musical, we chilled out in Central Park, wandered through Chinatown and Little Italy and had some yummy breakfasts.
Oh yeah, the blog title. So I've had a few salads recently, to try and counter the sugar/fat intake of other meals! I had a Cobb salad in a deli called Sarge's, but ended up eating just the meat/cheese/egg part of the salad, and then topped that with a mahoosive slice of carrot cake (Jess had New York baked cheesecake). Yesterday I had another salad for lunch and again, could not quite polish it off!
Boston is pretty cool. A very different vibe to New York. Brick houses and sidewalks, more old timey buildings, churches, etc. It is much less busy, and far fewer beeps of the horn from taxi drivers!
The hostel in Boston has no air-con, which has made sleeping uncomfortable. The heat has been stifling at times. We went out in a thunderstorm the other day, which of course stopped after we sat for dinner.
We had a Boston Duck tour yesterday, in the same vehicles that give Duck tours in London and Liverpool. That was a lot of fun, especially telling the driver/guide that we were British! I asked if he had any tea. :) (search Boston Tea Party).
When the weather subsides, we are going to jump on the Boston trolley and take a tour of the city and also go to the Boston Tea Party museum. Once a history geek...
