There was a point in the beginning of my day that I felt like giving up on the entire world. Google maps led me in a circle, in the rain, with my shrunken canvas converse shoes, in a neighborhood that was probably not the friendliest in Massachusetts. Can someone please tell Google not to make the highway part of a walking route.
After my horrendous experience with technology, I (miraculously) made my way to Boston. I ate lunch at Boston Sail Loft for some Clam Chowder. Rich, thick, and piping hot I give it a 8/10. Plus, I was starving from my whole morning ordeal, I think almost anything would have sufficed. I visited Faneuil Marketplace and all three Markets within the area. I snapped a few pictures, listened to some street performers, and strolled down the many food shops about four times, before deciding there was really nothing that pulled me in. Haymarket was on the way to my next destination, so I strolled past and enjoyed seeing all of the different produce they had for sale. It blew my mind that vendors were selling strawberries 2/$3. That's insane! We're lucky for it to be on sale for $5.99 in Hawaii! The worker at Q's Nuts in Boston Public Market waved me down for a free sample, and boy, did he know how to sell. I really did love all of the samples he gave me, and because he was so sweet (and cause I'm a sucker for samples), I ended up buying a few to take home. My last destination of the day was the North End of Boston, aka Little Italy. There were SO many pastry shops that I wanted to visit, but a girl can only eat so many sweets in one trip. I mean, I know I can eat it (i live off of sweets) but I love my body too much to stuff it with solely cannoli's and pies. I did eat at Carmelina's, an authentic Italian restaurant (one among many) that had raving reviews on Yelp. In my honest opinion, I thought it was just alright. Nothing super amazing (which I'm very sad about tbh). As I wrote in my Yelp review, I think the reviews just raised my expectations too high.
