Cass, thank you!

IJR, I appreciate it :)

Flat, 7502, ask again, I don't mind...it's gonna be hot...so I'm taking in the sights for sure

Joe, I will take it

Kelli, well spoken my friend...

I'm here so gonna relax and hopefully catch a person or two tomorrow

Yes, relax! It is such a pretty town, I wish I had been able to see more of it!

My BEST advice: walk the freedom trail the day after, eat lunch and get delicious treats at Faneuil Hall, finish up with a RUN up the stairs at the Bunker Hill Monument (just 294 stairs). It will take the soreness right out of your legs.

And on one of your nights there (Sunday?), the North End is the place to be! Best Italian food AND cannoli and gelato....NUMMY!
