Amber, Boston and Honk last week

We cruised on into Boston and found Amber walking the streets talking about Honk. Turns out she is not crazy, there was a Honk Festival going on that weekend. Honk Bands are "activist street bands" that play loud fun music and dress silly. The three of us walked on over to the festival and listened to the music and ate the food. After the festival, walking through a park, we happened upon renegade hoola hoopers! And we hooped until we could hoop no more.

When we arrived in Boston we did not have a place to stay, so we put an emergency Couch surf request and John came through for us at the last minute. He let three stranger stay in his house with 5 hours notice. We did walk his dog, clean his kitchen and do his laundry, but otherwise we had a last minute free place to stay in Boston for two nights.

The Fine Art Museum had a free day on our second day in Boston so we went to check it out because we love free stuff. The museum is huge and full of old old stuff. None of that "modern art," where you can't even tell what it is, this was all the good stuff and some of it was thousands of years old. By the end we did experience museum fatigue and skipped a little of Egypt.

Boston Has a red brick "Freedom Trail" that we started and made it only to stop number 3... There is a lot more to see but after full day at the museum it was dark by the time we got to the cemetery where all the famous old patriots are buried. So we called it a day and headed for beers. We will do the Trail when we go back to Boston, before we send Amber on her way home. She's adapted well to our crazy ways and will miss us dearly.

Before we left Boston, we stopped by Samuel Adams and had some beer. mmm beer. Theirs was the best tour that we have done so far, there has been better beers but the the tour takes the cake.

Tune in soon for the next installment of old news...Brooklyn.
