Honeymoon - Day 7

This day, we woke up early in Boston and went out to find breakfast about 9am. We ate at the olive tree, a little cafe and got a big traditional breakfast.

We then went walking around Newbury street which is a trendy Boston area.

Around 11am we went to the MIT museum which was free before noon. While there, Dan looked lovingly at the robots, wishing that he could quit his job in the DoD, go back to school, and save the world. Apparently, he is under the impression that working in the DoD is a waste of time and his time could be better spent serving humanity by working on robots that do the following...

After the museum, we walked about 2 miles to see the Boston Oktoberfest. We we got there, we found lots of food and vendors but no NO BEER! We were really confused but decided to call it quits and find some real beer and football. Thank goodness. We found the John Harvard Brew Pub were we proceeded to get tipsy and watch Cincinatti play the Jets. I have to say, for a moment, I felt proud to be from the DC area where we have beer at our Oktoberfests. Those yankees have too much schooling and not enough beer!

We headed back to our hotel which was a nice, sobering walk to get the car and then drove to New Harbor Maine.
