Day three...history, beer and ducks

It was a rainy morning in Boston and we started of with some minor issues getting to the "T" station due to the parking lots being very full. But once we got to a lot with parking still available we managed to make our way downtown. We picked up our Go Boston tour cards at the Macy's and then got back onto the "T" (thats what they call the Subway here) and we were off to the JFK Library and Museum for a history lesson.

It is quite a large building and very interesting to see the exhibits full of pieces of JFK's life and the projects he contributed to throughout his political career (the space program & peace corps just to name a couple).

It was funny to find out the Bouvier sisters were scrapbookers way ahead of their time. They had a scrapbook of pictures and drawings they did about a trip to Europe that they had given their parents.

An amazing view from inside the museum.

After that we decided to have some fun and went off to the Samual Adams Brewery...

...mmm beer.

This is Scott holding some of the ingrediants for the beer.

We got three samples to taste (did I mention this tour was FREE!!). I enjoyed the Oktoberfest brew and Scott enjoyed them all and might need some more sampling before making a final decision on this one.

After this we went over to the Duck Tours. It's a bus and boat in one-QUACK! We got a tour of Boston by land then it drives into the Charles River and cruises up and down the river so you get a cool view of the city from there.


By this time we were starving and while driving on the bus made the city seem simple enough, finding our way on foot on our own proved a bit more challenging. Eventually we found an Irish Pub to grab some dinner. Got the subway back to the hotel and are taking it easy.

With any luck tomorrow will be a whale of a day....stay tuned.
