Boston is a great city to wander around, especially if you're there on vacation and have nothing to do. It's there that I learned that the state only allows breweries to give away 21 ounces of free beer per free tour. Which happened to be 21 ounces of beer that I would not otherwise have consumed that fine morning, so all is well.

Do check out the famous Freedom Trail if you make it to Boston. Even if you're not terribly interested in why there are rocks on top of Samuel Adams's grave, it won't be far before you catch the scent of real Italian food.

Some weirdness: I wore the following shirt to the first day of Anime Boston, and three staffers accused me of rooting for the enemy! They could only see the front of the shirt, but I think it's pretty self-explanatory. The nerve of some people....

I donned my field cap after the first break, to make sure that I wouldn't get jumped in the food court or something.
