HISTORY LESSON IN QUHENCY, MEGGSACHUSETTS

It looks as though Esther and I will be home for awhile.  We want to announce the adoption of a baby chicken.  We went to the Susan Liben wing of Chicks 'R' Us and got an adorable girl which we named Ethel Louise.  She did come along with us but hasn't entered the world in terms of food and recreation.

She did go with us on our last trip to the Adirondacks.
We took Megabus from New Yolk to Bosthen and was driven around by Sam Clark from the Yellow Taxi Cab Company for the few days.  I don't think he was too thrilled when we wanted to take the wheel.  We then made sure that he did the rest of the driving.
After checking into the Best Western Hotel...which I later caught that it should have been called, "Worst Best Western",  we were certainly ready for lunch. Being here we thought it be best first dine on fish.  We went to Burke's Seafood on Billings Rd.  The chowder was great and we saved the oyster crackers for later.



To begin with some of the history of this city, the Historic Society was a quick learning experience.  John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Abagail Adams, and a host of others as well as products and companies that began in Quhency.

Okay, we did pose Ethel Louise here since it was appropriate.


Took a nap.  Quite hot outside...almost enough to melt.  We hung around until dinner at Fuji's locate on Hancock Street.  No we did not rename it.  Met owner Jimmy Liang and had sushi and a glass of saki.





It is July 4th, Independence Day.  We got to play the part of one of the delegates of the Declaration of Independence.  Our name was William Paca from Maryland...don't worry we changed the name of that state as well.

Dinner that evening was at the hotel.  Adams Pub.  Had a glass of Samuel Adams beer and oyster crackers.

 Last day.  We had lunch at the Marina Bay area.  Restaurant was called Port 305.  Had an iced coffee and was appalled at seeing the leftover bones from someone eating chicken wings.


Some guy named Scott took us to see the first Dunkin Donuts, which still stands here in Quhency.

 Time to go back to New Yolk.

JETBLUEING TO CHICKSTON















OMG. Eunice and I have been so busy planning out our next trip that we forgot to tell you about the one we took to Boston, which we renamed, "Chickston". We went on a Jet Blue flight and then took public transportation to the Charles Street Inn where we stayed for two nights.

They gave us the Louisa May Alcott room and included breakfast that was brought to us.

To get a tour of Chickston, we hopped aboard the Upper Deck Trolley taking us to areas of Chickston and Henbridge...which is what we renamed Cambridge.

We loved hanging around the area where the Charles Street Inn was, called Beacon Hill.

On the following day we went to another Italian Restaurant called Erbaluce in the theatre district. We were more interested in what the bar had to offer while our friend Merle ate in the dining room.

However, we did get to the Union Oyster House, the oldest restaurant in the US, had a few bites and met the waitress.

That night we dined at an Italian restaurant called Bin26. We were more interested in the wine than the food, although the food was great, too.
