Don't ev...Okay, is that bacon on your plate??? Don't even tell me it's 'fish bacon'. Totally pork o rama there. Looks delicious.<br /><br />The Hub nickname cracks me up. I thought this was interesting too. Like most other cities and towns in New England, Boston was named after another city across the sea in old England. The English city was originally named “Boltophston” after Saint Botolph, and orthodox preacher in England. Boston came from a shortening of “Boltophston.” Boston, Lincolnshire, home to many of new Boston’s early Puritan settlers, provided the naming roots for Boston, Massachusetts.<br /><br />Weird right?<br /><br />Looks like you crammed it as much as possible in such a short time. Love the multiple lobster smack downs.<br /><br />I did not know that about the Marathon. What a haunting visit that must have been. Gives me chills.<br /><br />I feel like I got to travel, if only briefly. Thanks Brady!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537194343288478024noreply@blogger.com
