It took us about an hour to drive into Boston this morning and find Keith’s apartment. Actually, finding the apartment wasn’t hard, just finding parking for Howie was hard. We called Keith from outside his place, and he took us to a place a few blocks away that had some free space for the day.
Keith looks great. He cooked us an eggplant dish for lunch (see, Aunt Marilyn, he’s using the book, “how to cook everything”), and told us of his plans for walking around the north end of the city. Theresa was away from the apartment, studying for her upcoming finals. Before we got started on our walk, the weather changed from sunny and mild to dark clouds, rain, thunder and lightning. So….change in plans. We started playing a game that Keith introduced us to, called “Munchkins”. Theresa came home and all four of us played a game until the rain let up. We decided to stick around the neighborhood for dinner, as the clouds were still a bit threatening. So we walked a few blocks away and were introduced to a United Nations of restaurants up and down the street. We finally settled on a Vietnamese restaurant and had a very good dinner. We walked to a frozen yogurt place for some yummy dessert. ( Mixx…let’s you choose from about 12 flavors, put all your own toppings on and charges by the ounce.) Back to the apartment, early hours yet, time for another round of Munchkins. Keith was particularly happy, because this game takes at least 3 people to play, and now he had fresh victims. Unfortunately for him, his dad, and then his mom beat him at his own game. Isn’t Keith a great teacher!

Harris found a Hampton Inn outside Boston in Natick that allowed us to park and stay in Howie overnight . That saved us about 90 miles and a couple of hours in travel time. We turned off the light around 10:30.
