Boston Part 1.....



The flight was bumpy. Delta wouldn't let us upgrade our tickets because they are class"U" which seems to stand for "U go and F yourself." The air mattress flight attendant was rude, because i took longer than 10 seconds to decide between yuckie cracker or yuckie granola bars. The other one was irked that i asked for a whole can of ginger ale to settle my stomach.

Met a former chemist as a cab driver who was laid off on his 55th birthday by his company because the shoe company he worked for was in cost cutting mode. I tipped him well.

Well, we spent our first night here checking out a restaurant called fire and ice, which was entertaining as well as a nifty little stroll down to Boston Common. The food was good but our waiter sucked. Thats why he got 10% instead of 20%. When i have to go ASK for silverware, then you've got a problem. I guess he was too busy trying to keep his big tables of kids happy.

Today, we took in an impromptu hockey game. Flyers were in town. Boston won, 3-2 (OT) and i got a nice green hat as part of a giveaway. First pro sporting event I've gone to without a camera for years.

Here's some pictures from the stroll and Trinity Church, which is across the street from the hotel.
