Oh, What A Ride!!!!!!!

We were finally ready to catch the Trolley to take a tour of Boston! Our time was running out for the day and we thought this might be the quickest way to at least see some of the places .  Having only pleasant encounters with Bostonians I was shocked when I asked the driver where was the best place to sit. Thinking one side might be better than the other. He gave me a very rude answer. Then asked where I was from and after telling him, he said, "You probably thought I was rude (and I am nodding my head in shock), but really we just like to play around in Boston".  If we would not have had to wait another 30 minutes for the next trolley, I would have gotten off. Unfortunately, it only got more....'interesting' to put it nicely!

Our driver did not stick to the path, and took us by some beautiful places, but I cannot tell you what the name of the buildings are.


At one point our driver became argumentative with one of the other passengers. We thought about getting off but we would have to wait 1/2 hour for our next ride. So we ride on!

Our Trolley Ride began with the driver saying, "When you go to a play how do you act when actors enter the stage?" Someone said be quiet. He said, "exactly, it is my stage!"

We did get to see Fenway Park which was a treat!




Our driver then apparently had a schedule to follow and he was a little ahead, so he pulls over across from a Hilton and allows people to get off and go get a Starbucks or go to the restroom.

We finally got closer to the hotel, and thank goodness for that! As he turned a corner, a truck was on the side of the road, unloading items. As we inched by him, and I do mean 'inched"! We ended up catching the other trucks mirror with the back of the trolley! What a mess!!
