Until yesterday morning I had never been to Maine, so I naturally assumed that the state population breakdown would be 50% lobstermen and 50% lobsters. As it turns out, that is not the case. You really do learn something new every day. The original itinerary called for a straight shot from our hotel in Boston …
We had an a packed week in Boston, so here are some recap photos which we didn’t have a chance to work into any earlier posts: Theme of the week: Eko staring longingly at ducks Not even Eko’s best puppy face could save him from a bath at Laundromutt Everyone on the Freedom Trail Tour …
Our stay here in Boston has come to a close, and we are on the move to Portland, Maine. Despite waking up to Fenway Park outside my window each morning, Eko and I had an absolute blast during our week in the city. To answer the obvious question about Boston; yes, we love them apples. …
On our last full day in Boston the weather had gotten a bit colder, but that didn’t stop Eko from going for a swim. Actually, Eko would have gone swimming even it was snowing out because we had the indoor pool at the Red Dog Pet Resort reserved for a swim. The Red Dog complex, located just …
As I mentioned yesterday, our Freedom Trail tour dropped us off in Quincy Market. What I neglected to mention is that we were immediately pulled back into the 21st century by a group of break dancers who had taken over the square. A reenactment of the famous 1777 Battle of Breakdance On our …

After saying hello to some ducklings yesterday morning, we pulled out of Boston towards the Middlesex Fells Reservation in Medford, Mass – one of the famous stops on Paul Revere’s ride. This entire week Mr. Eko has been talking trash about how if he was the one running instead of Paul Revere’s horse, the Americans would …
There is a good chance Winter might lose its job. It is already December in Boston (and everywhere else too, I guess) and Winter hasn’t shown up for work. Eko and I decided to take advantage of our good fortune with a tour of Cambridge, Medford and a few other stops in between. We got …
Now, I know we are heading outside of the city today, but last night I learned about some iconic statues in Boston which I absolutely had to visit. If you guessed that we visited the Paul Revere, George Washington or Sam Adams statues, you would be wrong (though I would like to visit the Sam …
In a shocking turn of events, Eko and I did not get lost today! We set out for the Joe Wex dog park and made it without a hitch. I thought at 10:30 am on a Wednesday the park would be quiet, but the place was jumping with dogs. In fact, I think the dog/human …
