Day Three we drove to Boston, visited Harvard University in Cambridge, a teacher friend I met in Alabama - got a local perspective of Boston, and took some amazing picture from the Prudential Tower.
Boy, driving through Cambridge, Mass is much more difficult than driving in Cambridge, Idaho. The streets are super narrow, the lanes merger together without notice, and every intersection has at least six streets which converge together.
Have no fear, we made it to the Harvard Natural History Museum and saw a bunch of dead things. No, it was pretty cool. We skipped the section about the large bugs floating in bottles. Sherie and I figured we could skip didn seeing dead bugs. The coolest part of the museum was about the DNA and colors of animals. Another interesting part was the animal horns section and the bones. I took many pictures of this section.
By the time we were done, we needed to eat. So were drove into Boston and ate at Legal Sea Food. Sherie treated me to a specail lunch since it was my birthday....so I had my first raw oysters...Yummy! The raw oysters slid out of their shell and down my throat. These were east coast oysters. Sherie explained to me east coast oysters don't taste as fishy as west coast oysters. To me, oysters tasted like shushi. Since I have met Sherie she has introduced me to so many new things(including shushi), and now I can add oysters to this list.
Then we went to the 50th floor of the Prudential Tower. As we zoomed up in the express elevator our ears popped...The view was great from the top. Once there, were picked up these cell phones which gave you a kind of walking tour of the city from above when you keyed in a code.
After that I met Dave. He was a teacher I met while in Alabama. Very smart and cool guy. He teachers high school social students in New Hampshire. He and his friend gave us a local tour of Boston. We ate some yummy pizza at Regina Pizzeria. Reginas was a little hole in the wall pizza joint in the middle of little Italy. Regina's is a tiny little pizzeria, with a local flavor. The pizza was very good!!!

Oh yea, almost forgot...We tried an some athentic Italy dessert...Canoli. Dave is prepping us for opur European part of our honeymoon. You can tell Sherie is enjoying it.

After dinner, dave took us around Boston. Okay, I need explain this picture...Yes, it looks like the ground. But, this is very historical signitigant ground. This IS the spot where the Boston Masucure happened. But if you were to visit it, there is nothing there to note such event occured. The spot down the street from the Old State House.
This post will be short as we want to get going to Salem, Mass this morning and witch trial places....
