Trip to Boston

We had a great walking tour of Boston's North End and down to the waterfront while the sun was still sparkling and just before sunset yesterday.

After stumbling down the old narrow cobblestoned roads of Boston's "Little Italy", we came upon one of our destinations -
"Pizzeria Regina" - a place for Boston's tastiest and original pizza pies...since 1926.

We weren't the only ones who had this idea as we waited outside in line for about 20 minutes. Every time the door opened to let in the next party a wonderful aroma drifted out to remind us all why we were standing out there and not giving up for something less than the best!

We were coached to be prepared to place our order quickly and ask no questions, as the brusque waitresses had no time to dally around in the tight quarters where they spend their workday. A couple large pizzas, beers and only one waitress sneer of inconvenience later, we were more than satisfied and headed out the door for the rest of our impromptu walking tour of Boston.

Off through the Paul Revere Park with the spire of the Old North Church peeking through the newly budding trees. Then down to the Waterfront where we slipped over to the New England Aquarium for a visit with the seals frolicking in the outside tank.

A brisk and delightful hour+long walking tour of this part of the city. Thanks to our friends Jeannie and Wade!

Funny, people come from all over the world to visit here. We live in the area and never take the time to do little day trips like this...glad we did.
