It's been a while



It's been about 2 months since I last graced y'all with a post. So what has happened in the last 60 days or so? Well in my last post, I told you that I was going to Boston. It was a really great trip! We made almost perfect timing on the drive down. It was something like an eight and a half hour drive. We arrived at the hotel at around 8:45. After we checked in and put our bags in the room, we went to an Irish pub across the street. Before I move on, so I booked a handicapped room. When we got there it didn't seem very accessible. Then we opened the door to bathroom. The bathroom was huge! That caused the front hall to the bedroom part very narrow. I was lucky that my wheelchair is quite slim. If it had been a bigger disabled person, they would shit out of luck.

I don't recall the name of it though. It was a really nice place, with a great atmosphere and tasty food! I tried deep fried pickles for the first time that night. My verdict is: Very delicious, if you only eat 3 or 4. After that the grease became too much to handle. That is only my opinion though. I had some weird chicken sandwich, well not that weird. It was on nice thick bread. It was an enormous chicken tender with cheese, bacon, and barbecue sauce, Now I normally don't like barbecue sauce, but this sauce made the sandwich! I realize i'm describing a sandwich, but man oh man, it was like the best sandwich I've ever had!

The Next day we drove to Boston and took in some sights. Our hotel  was about 40 minutes away from the heart of downtown Boston. That day was gorgeous! We decided to visit Fenway park first. Okay so parking for Fenway is like, finding a 1930's nickel in your loose change. After about a good hour, we found a handicapped spot just a couple minutes away from the gate, where tour tickets are sold. First of all, in no way am I a baseball fan. However, when you are in Boston, you must visit this historic building! The view from the park is just breath taking. I felt all these amazing feelings, just from being in a building, with so much history behind it. After Fenway, it was time for the New England Aquarium!        

Apparently they had just recently finished construction, and for the first time ever people could look down into the centre tank. The aquarium is such a beautiful and calming place. I don't know if I could spend all day there, but I definitely could spend a good chunk of the day there. We were in and out in about two hours, because it was approaching the time, my friend and I was meeting agreed upon. So I went to just outside Quincy Market and stopped to wait for her. While waiting there was a street performer, performing. I don't remember exactly what she was doing, but I do remember being a little amazed.

A few minutes after the performance had finished , my buddy showed up. She could only hang out for like two hours, but it was enough time to meet a good friend. Meeting people is always a lot of fun. We had dinner at some Burger place and we talked. I really enjoyed my time with her. I thought she was nice on twitter and when we text, but in person, it really stands out!

The second and final day we visited the Science Museum. I have to admit, the first full day was much better than the second. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the museum. It was very interesting and informative. A lot of the exhibits had hands on things, with me being disabled, I was not able to enjoy the museum to the fullest. After the museum we went to see Guardians of the Galaxy. This movie theater was huge. The movie in my opinion, was incredible! The movie had equal parts comedy/humour, drama, and action! Usually movies can never pull off that magical trio. Usually is the keyword! Why? Because this movie executed it perfectly! And to top it all off, the music in the film is off the hook! So all in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Beantown!

In other News, I never got back to finishing my Jean story. My motivation for writing just came back today. So hopefully this post sparks something and I get my story finished! Maybe I can write some more poems, as well. I don't know what else there is to say. So I will end this here. You should, more than likely hear from me again. I promise it will be much less spread apart. See you again, for more blog insanity! And remember, When in despair, eat a gummy bear!
