This weekend we drove up to Boston to see some friends. They live in the UK but came to Boston to visit their parents/in-laws. The drive was really nice and only took 5.5 hours. The trip took us through 6 states – Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York (part of Manhattan actually), Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

While in Boston we had some fresh sea food. I had a steamed lobster and -k had some scallops. We then went to a couple of local bars. While driving around we saw Harvard University and Boston College.

Day two we went on a whale watching tour and yes, we actually saw some whales. There was a group of about 3 or 4 humpback whales hanging out and swimming around and under the tour boat. The boat would slowly spin around so everyone could have a chance to take a look at the whales, but instead everyone just kept running from one side of the boat to the other in a mad rush. In addition to turning this peaceful occasion into a frenzy, people would ooh’s and aah’s every time a whale would pop up. I enjoyed ignoring the crowd and watching the whales. Very cool.

After the tour we went to Pizzeria Regina in the North End. I would have to say in regards to the flavor of the crust it is a perfect pizza. I would go to Boston again just to go there.
