Boston

We flew from MSL to MEM at 6:40 am. Pretty early for us but it was a good and convenient flight. We then flew to Boston on the flight from hell. Hell was a 6 yr old and a 3 yr old who were totally out of control. “Daddy” dozed during the flight and “Mother” did nothing. Earplugs helped some. If an adult caused the disruption they did he would be arrested upon landing.   A couple of Sam Adams Red Bricks helped take the edge off though and we quickly recovered.

We stayed at the Omni Parker House in Boston which was an excellent choice. Everyone was very helpful; got a late check-out; and the hotel was very convenient for us.

We walked most of the Freedom Trail which went by our hotel. We ate both days at Ye Olde Oyster House near Quincy Market (found a good thing so did it twice). Today, August 13 we took the Blue Line to Harvard and took a historical walking tour of the campus.

Weather was perfect both days. We enjoyed Boston, but now on to Istanbul!
