Out of the farm, and in to Boston - April 29th

Had a very nice couple days on the "Farm", including the playground and other stuff, and then headed up to the outskirts of Boston today.
We parked at a "T" parking area in the hopes of taking the train direct into the city, but they were doing some work on the rails, so ended up having to take a bus to a terminal further along the way, then rode the train the rest of the way in. The bus took a lot longer, but at least we got to see the "above ground" city.

In Boston, we walked part of the Freedom trail, snacked on some Bagels, then went to Fanueil Hall for a "lunch" (though it was already almost 3). From there, we headed over to a "Duck Tour" of Boston which was a lot of fun. For those unfamiliar with the Duck Tours, they have purchased some WWII vintage amphibious trucks (as were used in Normandy), and done some modernizing on them so that they use them for city tours - both on land (for about an hour), and then on the water (in this case, on the river) for another half hour. Delilah even got to drive the Duck for a few minutes, while in the water. Was a lot of fun, though admittedly rather cold without a heater in it... After the tour, we found a cafe and had some hot drinks, soup and grilled sandwich before heading back out.

Better luck on the return trip since the rail work had been completed, so was able to take the "T" subway all the way back to the station.
From there, decided to do another "Hotel Rest" for a couple of days in Cape Cod area - actual bath tub to soak still weary toes in, in a two room suite for some private space. Funny configuration in the place that the rooms are built around a covered indoor courtyard which has a pool (they call it heated, but D doesn't think so), and game area.
