9:00 Wake up WAY earlier than any of the boys in the dorm (there were 6 guys sharing 3 bedrooms). We took showers and got out the door before anyone else stirred.
10:30 Went down to Coolidge Corner to get brunch at a delicious place called Zaftigs. I would go back simply to get their chocolate french toast. OMG, my BFF chocolate french toast.
11:30 After food coma subsided we took the train downtown to Faneuil Hall,
which was so rediculously awesome. We stayed around there for quite some time, taking in the sites (oh the people watching), smells(the greatest food court I've ever seen!), sounds (kids beat boxing and doing hip hop out in front of the market place where politicians used to stand up on their soap boxes in the days of the Boston Tea Party), and tastes (what rockin' chocolate chip cookies they have there!) of the area. Dan bought Spiderman Crock slippers.
1:00 We set out on our Freedom Trail Journey. Oh what fun you have when walking along a red brink path set in the street. We went to Paul Revere's house, Old North church, and then walked around the North End/Little Italy.
4:00 Tea time!
5:00 It was the jackpot of food today! Hit up a popular pre-fixe Italian place and enjoyed the ambiance over gnochi and ravioli.
6:30 Went out to Harvard Square. We'd been there the night before with our host guys for Japanese noodles, but tonight we just wanted to sort of wander around. It started to rain/mist though, so we found an internet place and started asking people to host us the next night in Providence, RI. (not because we didn't like Boston, or our current hosts, but we suddenly wanted to extend the road trip to other fun places!)
9:00 Headed back to Boston College
10:00 watched a really cool documentary with some of the guys called Corporate, or something like that. I fell asleep with everyone talking and discussing the movie half way through...of course.
End Day 2 Boston Adventure.
