Some wine snob
Some wine snob posing outside some Florentine gastronomy eatery trying to determine if this fluid was fermented or unfermented by flapping his tongue around in the air while gandering at said product. The "Italian American sports fan fly to Boston to catch a Red Sox game 29 times & counting" waiter shooded him away as an imposter.

To further our quest to financially prop up failing economies around the world I got this medicine in Madrid (Spain not Oregon – oh excuse me, that’s Madras – damned iPhone’s spell check) by leaving this heafty tip.

Boston’s Financial Status
Because we were concerned for Boston’s financial status, we dropped a bundle on drugs that those qwack Harvard Medical people thought would improve the quality of Sue’s hacking & coughing . . . I thought a cold rag & a wool sock around her neck woulda done the job – just goes to show you a So. Calif. College of Optometry’s education can compete with Harvard’s any day!

Our first day on vacation
Spent part of our first day on vacation at this joint of dubious reputation. Sue wanted to be sure Boston was exposed to a quality cold from the NW – so she sneezed & coughed on them while they poked & prodded. A good time was had by all.

Inside South Church in Boston
Inside South Church in Boston – beautiful. Course by the time you’ve looked at all the church pictures in Italy you’ll ask to be excommunicated.

South Church in Boston where Paul Revere had to choose, “which is better, 1 or 2” – “1 if by land, 2 if by sea”. Walgren’s probably didn’t block his view that night.
