WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN BOSTON. I KNOW YOU ALL HAD A CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST IN YOUR HOTEL, SO LET'S START OUR TOUR FOR THE DAY.
COMING OUT OF OUR HOTEL WE CAN SEE
THE MARKET IS BUSTLING THIS MORNING.
IF YOU LOOK TO THE RIGHT, YOU WILL SEE THE U.S.S. CONSTITUTION.
CALLED "OLD IRONSIDES", IT IS USUALLY IN THE CHARLESTOWN NAVY YARD,
BUT FOR TOURIST SEASON, THEY BRING IT INTO BOSTON HARBOR.
EVERYONE HAD ENOUGH BROWSING IN THE MARKET?
LET'S WALK TO THE BACK BAY. WE JUST HAPPEN TO BE GOING RIGHT BY
"THE OLD CORNER BOOKSTORE". THE OLDEST BOOK STORE IN THE COUNTRY
BUILT IN THE EARLY 1700'S, BEFORE THE REVOLUTION.
HERE IT IS. FENWAY PARK. IT IS LIKE MOST EVERYTHING ELSE IN BOSTON, OLD.
HERE IS THE NEW LOOK. THIS IS THE
JOHN HANCOCK BUILDING. LOOKS A LITTLE OUT OF PLACE,
PROGRESS I GUESS.
THIS IS THE REAL BACK BAY - COBBLESTONE STREETS AND BRICK SIDEWALKS.
THEY STILL LIGHT THE GAS STREET LAMPS EVERY NIGHT.
THIS IS THE WORLD OF THE CABOTS AND THE LODGES.
OH YES, AND THIS IS THE STREET WHERE SENATOR TED KENNEDY LIVES.
WE ARE MAKING A BIG CIRCLE AND THIS IS THE PUBLIC GARDEN NEXT TO BOSTON COMMON.
THAT IS PAUL REVERE ON HIS HORSE.
WE'RE HEADING FOR LUNCH, IF EVERYONE IS HUNGRY.
GUESS WHAT WE ARE HAVING FOR LUNCH? ACTUALLY, YOU WILL SEE QUITE A SELECTION OF ALL SORTS OF GOOD FOOD.
MENU
THIS IS THE OLDEST RESTAURANT IN THE COUNTRY.
THIS EATERY WAS HERE IN THE DAYS OF THE REVOLUTION, BUT BECAUSE THEY CHANGED OWNERSHIP
AND THE NAME, IT CANNOT BE CALLED THE OLDEST. ALL THE HEROES AND POLITICIANS OF THE 1700'S ATE HERE.
MOVIE STARS, MILLIONAIRES AND FISHERMAN ALL SIT TOGETHER AT LONG TABLES
THAT SEAT TWENTY PEOPLE. IT HAS NOT BEEN RENOVATED, EXCEPT FOR THE PLUMBING AND ELECTRICITY IN THE 1890'S. THEY HAVE HAD ONLY THREE CHEFS SINCE THEY TOOK THE NAME DURGIN PARK.
RECIPES AND MORE
EAT HEARTY BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET THE CHEVY ON THE ROAD AND HEAD
FOR THE SAGAMORE BRIDGE AND CAPE COD.
WELL, YOU SEE HOW TIMES FLIES. BY THE TIME WE ATE, GOT THE CHEVY AND GASSED UP, MADE THE HOURS DRIVE TO BUZZARD'S BAY.
( what a lovely name )
THE SUN IS SETTING AND WE WILL JUST MAKE IT OVER THE BRIDGE AND ON TO THE CAPE
BEFORE IT GETS DARK.
WE WILL FIND A NICE PLACE TO STAY IN FALMOUTH. IT IS ABOUT A 30 MINUTE DRIVE AFTER THE BRIDGE. EVERYONE READY TO GO OVER THE CAPE COD CANAL?
