Arriving in Boston

Today we left Cape Cod for Boston. After venturing the 70 miles or so, we arrived at our hotel just after lunch. We attempted to get Red Sox tickets, but were unsuccessful. We took a bus tour around downtown Boston and took some time to explore Quincy Market. Supper was highlighted by some “chowda”. Our first impressions of Boston are positive. Like NYC, it is an old place, but not nearly as busy or crowded. NYC seemed compressed, busy, and overcrowded. Boston is spread out a bit more, still busy in certain places, but a bit slower and easy going. New York can be compared to LA – both very busy and with endless possibilities for things to do. If San Francisco is a more “sophisticated” LA to the north in California, then Boston seems to be a more sophisticated version of NYC. We’ll find out more over the next 3 days or so.
