Good news, I had a great nights sleep! Bad news, I am 24 miles away from my next potential bed. Family friends of the Mittman (Moyer side) clan, have graciously offer me a place to stay right in the city of Boston, but I had to get there first.
So it was off to the races…like a snail. I walked the first few miles to get my bearing on Danvers, and then accidentally got my self on the wrong side of a divided highway….for 9 miles! Eventually I got into the northbound lanes (facing traffic, it’s the law) and finally got to run for about 6 miles, in the hottest part of the day. Then with 15 miles in I finally got a glimpse of Boston in the distance, and that was all I needed to get motivated to finish the day.
I hiked through Everett, which is mammoth, and then closed in on my destination. My GPS took me right through Boston Common, and a bunch a historic areas, so it was slow just because I was taking TONS of pics, but eventually I made to Colby and Rick’s beautiful home. After a very needed shower they lavished me with a wonderful dinner at a place right around the corner and before I knew it it was already after 11:00pm. City life is SOOO cool!
