Return to Boston

Back in Boston for Memorial Day weekend and to cheer on my friend who is running her first half marathon tomorrow.

This time around, the weather made it much easier to enjoy the outdoors there! I arrived early in the afternoon, so we grabbed some lunch (pic is of me trying a Middle Eastern Beer, Alamaza, recommended by my friend) and then walked over to see what we could see @ Earth Fest.

On the way there we passed MIT and another pic opp stop.

When we got to the festival Cracker was on stage and LOTS of people were watching. There were various booths around promoting various things - Like "Don't Mess w/ the Zohan". My friend posed by the standee of Zohan and people were in line for free haircuts (not by Zohan). They were also giving away movie postcards/posters.

Lots of food samples like free mini bags of Puffins cereal and the Whole Foods tent was giving away cans of corn!

The intent was to stick around until Cake hit the stage but the crowd got to us so we journeyed on and took a break at a little coffee shop (non-Starbucks) and then after more various pic opps (including the Paul Revere statue and a shirt we found on display in a window that every Bo. Sox fan owns or wants to...) we eventually wound our way over to Little Italy (Villa Francesca) where Sarah carbed up for her run and I carbed up to cheer her on - teehee.

All too soon it was time to call it a day so the runner could get her zzzzzzzzzzz's....although, since it was her first run it proved to be more difficult than planned - too excited!
