The New England Experience

We're sitting in the hostel waiting for our cab to the ferry to the bus to Truro. Nantucket has been good to us. Between chilling on the beach, riding our bikes around on the relatively flat trails, the "reggae" concert on the "beach," the Muse, and the star-filled sky, we're going to miss it when we go. Who knows when we'll find another wifi connection, but we'll be sure to post pictures when we do.

We got into Martha's Vineyard yesterday and it is aahhbsolutely faaahhbulous. The hostel is very homey and we've been chatting with other hostellers and with our lovely host Nancy, who used to live in San Marcos, TX. Hooray for the Texas connection! We went into Edgartown yesterday and had simply sublime seafood and got some groceries. Today we've packed a sack lunch and are going biking along the coast (if we make it that far). The weather is a little overcast but it is so amazingly cool for August that we can't complain. Of course we've been taking tons of pictures, but you will just have to imagine what they look like until we can get to a place with wi-fi, which is not going to be on this tiny island. Until then, you'll just have to wonder who Carl is, and what he's all about.

We went out last night to a comedy club in Faneuil Hall in downtown Boston. None of us know how to pronounce Faneuil Hall, but it was a super-cool place. When we got off the subway Sara commented "That is a river of red brick!" And it really really was. We saw a street performer who was a really good juggler but had a slightly unsettling sense of humor. We also saw a bronzed statue of Larry Bird's feet. Kyle's are bigger, we were impressed. After wandering around and finding Paul Revere's House we went back to the Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall area for a comedy show. I'd give it a cancer rating of 1 because there were about three cancer-related jokes, and only one of them was funny. We laughed until we cried, then went home somewhat early so we could set out early this morning for the MUSEUM OF SCIENCE! *big announcer voice* We found a great place on Newbury St with really good breakfast and free wi-fi. Sweet.
