It was a peaceful train trip. Amedeo again expressed his love of sleeping in loud moving vehicles. I had a good time talking to the guy sitting next to me...mostly because of his Boston accent. One thing I noticed about Boston after we entered the train station: They have a Dunkin Donuts every 200 feet. Seriously. They had two of them in the same station. So, now I'm back in MD and thinking about donuts.
Here we are in the city...we didn't take many pics while we were there...it was a very hot day and super crowded. I've learned (once again) that I'm not much of a city person. Too noisy, crowded and polluted for me. Amedeo enjoyed watching all the trucks.
We stopped to eat at a little seafood restaurant. The food was great (very good lobster roll), but the service was slow, so the munchkins were eager to get out.
Here are Mattia and Leo waiting for their lunch...
We all ate under the flying fish...I want some of these in our house, but I couldn't figure out how to get them down without anyone noticing.
We checked out the sailing ships that were populating the harbor that weekend...Amedeo wanted to go IN the harbor, so we didn't spend much time gazing at them. Silly child. A little factoid about Pietro: he used to build elaborate sailing ship models out of match sticks.
Poppy and Amedeo walking around near the harbor...
Another group shot of our very nice hosts (who gave us their bed...while they slept on the floor!!!)...this was just after they were separated from Leo on the train....fortunately, he didn't stray very far!
The boys watched a little cartoon after our trip to wind down.
And then we all crashed....it was another long, but fun day!
Next...day 3!
