Day 17.

So right now we are on our way to Rhode Island. It’s actually day 18 now but I’m gonna write about yesterday, which was day 17.

On this day we woke up around noon. We got ready and left the house to explore Boston. We hopped on the subway and stopped in Harvard square. This place was real cool. There were many shops and restaurants. We found this vegetarian restaurant adam was looking for called Veggie Planet. The food was pretty good I got a vegan curry peanut pizza. The first half was really good, once I got to the second half though…It was just okay. The pizza dough was rectangular and very delicious. Laxy got this purple cold minty beet soup…you can imagine how it tasted. After we ate we walked around harvard square for a bit longer. We stopped at a dunkin donuts, which is everywhere here by the way, and we got some donuts and Laxy got a coffee (hes addicted). After some more walking we hopped on the subway and headed downtown.

We got off in downtown and walked around this outside mall area. It was pretty cool. We also found a park that was neat to walk through. In the park adam got some fried dough and jake got a mountain dew. The fried dough was so delicious! We the walked through a garden and Jake brought up the Paul Revere house. We decided to check it out after looking up directions on my phone. According to my phone the directions said it was a little over 2 miles away so we decided to do the walk. Well the address for paul reveres house is 19 North Square Ave. When I entered the address into yahoo maps it changed it to 19 N st. We walked and walked oh and stopped at a dunkin donuts again and I got a orange coolatta..so delicious!. and we walked some more. downtown was now behind us and we were crossing this large bridge. We were now in South Boston. We walked to the address and it was not Paul Reveres house. So you can imagine how we felt at this point. Laxy and I looked up many maps and yahoo mapped some different addresses to find where we needed to be. It turns out we were pretty close to it before we started our walking journey.

Well we walked back, it wasn’t too bad at all. Ended up back in downtown where we needed to be. We eventually found paul reveres house which was really cool to see. The road on his street was all cobble stone and bumpy and uncomfortable to walk on. I’m assuming that the road had been there since Paul Reveres time. We walked around the historical district some more and stopped at a 711. After a short rest we went back to the subway. Oh while walking to 711 we walked through little italy. There were some very small restaurants with very long lines, especially this one italian restaurant. Well we took the subway back to where we are staying.

When we got back there was a firework show. Adam and I were upstairs and we could see the finale. Uncle Mike and his wife got home a little later and we finally got to see who he was. They were watching the Daily Show. Jake, Laxy and I decided to go get some food while Adam stayed at the house to hang and watch the show with them. So going to get food turned into a food adventure.

Alright so after asking Uncle Mike and Anne where some good food places were we made our way out. They told us there were some food places down the street walking distance. We walked down to the area where there some food places were. The only thing open was a dunkin donuts, and this chinese food place called Wangs. So this area has a chinese food place called Wangs, next to it a pizza place called Pinis and on the other side another placed called Woodys. So walked down to Wangs and the Pizza place. Well the Pinis was closed but wangs was open until 1am. Well standing outside of wangs we couldn’t decide if we wanted to eat there or not because jake was feeling something else. We decided to flip a coin. Heads we walk back to the car, get the gps and find a local fast food joint, Tails we eat at wangs. Keep in mind it about 1130 right now. Ok so jake flips the coin and its heads. So we walk back to the house, get the keys and hop in the car. We type in taco bell and find one a little over a mile and a half away. So we go there, it turns out this place is now a target greatland. Thanks Franky…Okay so we then look up KFC because the other taco bell is another 2 miles away and by this time were already starting to get frustrated. Well we find the KFC turns out its a KFC and taco bell combined…but its closed! So now we are at a point where its either go back to wangs, or try to find another fast food place. We look up taco bell once more and go to the one about 2 miles away. It turns out this taco bell is in a shopping mall, that is closed. By now we are way over it and pretty pissed too. So we decide to go back to wangs where we were originally. Stupid coin toss. Well we finally get to wangs, order our food. Our food started coming out because we ordered to go. Oh and while we were in there some nerds were eating and it was one awkward meal for them. 2 super nerds were arguing the whole time while the rest of them just sat there in silence watching awkwardly. OKay so were getting our food and I hear a girl scream or screech. Then I hear Jake say something along the lines of oh my this guy is barfing right at our car. I looked out the window and saw a stream of something falling and immediately turned away. At this point I was pretty scared. We all went outside, I immediately booked it the other way in fear.Laxy approached the barfing guy and his friends who were in a car right behind ours. He said something like excuse me can you get off our car, because his hand was on our car and he was barfing by the wheel. Then some annoying girl who was his friend was yapping at laxy. Then Laxy and the girl started going at it and Laxy said “Ill barf on your face” and she said ill barf on your mom and something like burn in hell. Laxy was heated!!!!! Well he got the car and drove to where I was. I hopped in quick and we went back to the house. There we ate, and talked about our adventure and those dumb people. After this meal we relaxed and went to bed.

So today 7/10. We woke up, laxy and I had leftover wangs. We then thanked Anne and left boston. Were now on our to rhode Island and on the way there we are going to stop and watch Bruno and a movie theater. So I will be back with another blog for another day soon.

Bye
