Hi from Boston

[orangerful]

We made it up here in record time yesterday. We listened to the new Neil Gaiman children's book "Fortunately the Milk" which was cute. Reminded me of Hitchhiker's guide, with its zany Britishness. Conversations in the car ranged from anime, 80s cartoons, 80s edutainment (tombs and talismans, encyclopedia), feminism, religion, video games, and library shenanigans.

Then we had delicious gourmet pizza for dinner and wandered to the grocery store and bought ice cream (they had the Anchorman "scotch scotch scotch" which was delicious!) conversation when we got back ranged from Christians and pagans and who took over whose festivals, Santa, krampus, what hardcore drugs do to people...and then somehow we ended the night learning about the saga behind the autofellatio photo on the entry on Wikipedia. Lol. (Mathew always knows the most random internet things).

Now we are waiting our turn to shower so we can go find food! Becky recommended The Friendly Toast and their website looks awesome. :-)

Weather is fab, vacation is off to a good start.

Ben and Jerry's always has some creative(and delicious!) ice cream flavors.

Sounds like you are having a fun start to your vacation. Yay!

Yay! Vacationing is fun. Pizza and ice cream--starting things off right. I am wondering how the conversation got around to Christmas, although I imagine "zany" and "British" would probably get me there eventually.

My friend Mathew is the king of non sequiturs so we end up in all kinds of weird places when talking with him LOL. The road trip down had some crazy philosophical discussions on religion and civil rights. We get DEEP on road trips LOL.

Sounds like a fun trip :) The weather is supposed to be amazing here for the weekend, so I hope it will be out that way too!

Sounds like an awesome start to the trip. Lots of good lovely conversation and good food.

Ha! I'd love to try that Anchorman ice cream, just to say that I did.

A few years back we managed to find the Schweddy Balls ice cream that was really hard to get your hands on.

LOL!

Yay Boston! The Salty Pig is amazing if you like charcuterie! I ate there twice the last time I was there.
