We finally arrived in Boston around 2:00, getting us to the hotel about 2:30. But before we left the airport we stopped in the US Airways baggage claim area to show them our completely soaked luggage. Not only were the suitcases wet, but our clothes inside were wet also. Not just sort of wet...some of the pieces we could have probably wrung out. My brown leather boots...soaked. The woman behind the counter told us that bags get wet when it rains. But we tried hard to explain that unless our bags were sitting outside in the rain for our entire 5+ hour delay, they shouldn't have gotten that wet. What a mess.
The first thing we did when we got into our room was open everything up, hang up what we could and lay out the rest of the clothes, shoes, etc. all over the room...letting them air out a bit.
Then we ventured out for a quick bite to eat...we hadn't eaten since breakfast...a $5 breakfast voucher from US Airways. We ended up at the food court of huge and incredibly beautiful mall. I got a small lobster roll and a cup of lobster bisque from Boston Chowda. It was great!
After that we came back to the hotel and I helped my coworkers finish setting up our photo exhibit. Back at the room we rested for a bit and then headed out with a couple of my coworkers for the North End...Boston's Little Italy. We ate at a restaurant called, Lucca. It was delicious. And I tried muscles for the first time. They were actually fairly good. I don't really like the rubbery consistency of those types of seafood, but these were not that chewy and had a very good flavor. I guess I can still try new things...still can't do mushrooms...who eats fungus?
Anyway, it's almost 10:30 and I have to be up around 6:00 a.m. so I'm off to get some sleep. Hope you all have enjoyed the play by play of our day getting to Boston. I'm sure there will be more adventures to report. See Chris' blog for a couple of pictures.
Good night all.
