Boston

After the excitement of Nonquitt, it was time for some R&R in Boston. We arrived in Boston on Friday night and went out with Hannah's great friend, Brock. We went to a specialist beer bar which had over a 100 beers on tap! More on beer in a later blog.

We stayed with Deborah, Mark and their son, Ben who are well established (as opposed to old) family friends of Hannah's parents. Deborah and Mark looked after us so fantastically - nothing was too much trouble and it was great to have dinner, chat and reminisce (Hannah reminisced, I learnt about the family ;-)

We explored Boston a bit and really enjoyed the city especially Cambridge which ironically is the suburb where Harvard and MIT are situated. I did have the misfortune of driving through the city once which was one too many times. It is a warren of one ways, narrow roads and difficult to read signs.

We caught up with some mates living in Boston. I met up with George, an ultimate mate from Cape Town who is now living in Boston. We went out with Brock and Ian to shoot some pool one night. We also saw Karen (of Karen and Roy fame) who is another old ultimate friend only to discover that they are start the next generation of ultimate player.

We spend 5 fantastic days in Boston in total and definitely didn't see enough of the city, but it was great to see our friends and just hang out, especially since our next stop was New York City...
