Visiting Boston, Part 2 - Walking Around

So we've already established that Jenny and I ate and drank a fair bit in Boston. We both had a great time. We also managed to get by with little to no weight gained by walking our butts off.

That's right, we didn't take a single cab and only used the subway for extended trips. By my guesstimation, we walked close to 25 miles in a three day weekend. We were whipped at the end of the trip, but we got to see a fascinating and fun city without looking through a pane of glass.

I love these kind of vacations. Half because of the adventure of really navigating around, half because I know it allows me to eat 2 cannolis and a huge meatloaf sandwich (one of man's greatest inventions) in two days. Get active! You'll see more of where you're visiting, and have more fun doing it. There's an added layer of accomplishment when you really spend the time walking around, like you actually went somewhere.

Here's a great shot of me visiting the Sam Adams brewery in Jamaica Plains. I know it doesn't relate to the post. So what. If you don't like it, get your own food blog.
