Cheers!

Thursday afternoon we drove 8 hours to Boston, Massachusetts.
Friday morning we spent the day walking the Freedom Trail - a trail through Boston that links the revolutionary historical sights. The day looked so nice, that we didn't take our winter jackets - big mistake! Although sunny, it was freezing! Anyway, the trail starts in Boston Common - Americas' oldest public gardens (which are over 100 years older than Australia!). We made our way via ancient graveyards, the town hall, to the downtown market place.

Paul Revere - one of the founders of the American Revolution. His house is also the oldest house still standing in Boston (1680).

We browsed around and stopped at the replica 'Cheers' bar, that the TV show Cheers is based around. We kept walking through the Northern end of town, otherwise known as Little Italy (which hosts the oldest tavern and restaurant in the USA), through to the Bunker Hill Monument. We climbed 294 stairs to the top for an awesome view of the city.

We then walked back to the harbour front in search of a seafood restaurant being that it was good Friday. We had the best clam chowder ever which is served at all the Presidential conventions. $100 later, we walked to the original Cheers bar for a few more drinks (via a couple of Irish pubs to get out of the freezing cold).

We then went back to the food markets downtown (via some more Irish Pubs) and had a lobster bisque bread bowl for dinner.
We saw another bar was having an Easter egg hunt and 2 Playboy Bunnies, so we went there after dinner for more drinks (it was an expensive day!). In the end, the Playboy girls were quite average, we had no money and couldn't be bothered waiting for the Easter egg hunt, so we caught the subway home.

Later that night...

Wardy had a little spewy!
