Cape Cod and Nantucket

I decided to write a seperate blog about the cape, simply because it deserves it.  Buffy Charlotte and myself decided that we needed to go spend some time on the cape before we all went our own ways.  We picked the perfect time since it was still nice out minus the masses of people.  We drove down to the cape and spent the night in Hyannis then the next day we got up and took the ferry to Nantucket.  We found a beach at the end of the cape and it turned out to be a fantastic day.  We drank some beer on the beach and watched the sea lions hanging out near shore.

Once we got over to Nantucket the first thing we noticed was CARRIBOU COFFEE!  They don't have that on the east coast so me and charlotte were stoked....Buffy didn't quite get our excitement but she played along.  



We decided to rent bikes and tour the island a little.  We went to the beach and it was a little windy but still very beautiful.  Then we took our bikes and rode to Cisco Brewery and Nantucket Vineyards and Vodka distillery.  We did a wine tasting and stayed away from the vodka....we still had to ride our bikes back.  I would have liked to stay longer.  We had such a good time just going with the flow and enjoying each others company.  I really hope that someday our travel paths will cross again. 

The ferry ride over to Nantucket

each little house had a different tasting...wine, beer or vodka

Boston

Ok I realize I haven't written in awhile.  I have been having such a good time in Boston it sort of slipped my mind.   I figured I better get some pictures of this leg posted before I am on my way out of town.  There are a lot of travel nurses here so it makes for a little bit more fun.  One of the nurses I worked with in Phoenix showed up here a few weeks after me and as it ends up she lives in the building right next to mine.  It has been nice having a familar face on this assignment.  We met another traveler from Woodbury, MN....small world she knew my college roommates brother. Boston has so much to offer a travel nurse.  I am pretty sure I will come back here for another contract...this time without my car.  It cost way to much to park it here and since I never drive it...I don't need it.  I live right across the street from the Boston TB Garden.  I was hoping to be able to see a Celtics game before I left but the NBA doesn't seem to care about my plans.  The Bruins also play there so I guess that will have to be good enough.  My friends Jeremy and Emily (my guest blogger from the beggining of the year)  came for a visit and we got caught in some tourist traps but we had a great time as per usual.  Here are some pictures from their visit.

Whale watching...we had to take pictures because I don't think Jeremy saw a single whale due to sea sickness

Of course we had to do this :)



Not everyone knew our name...in fact nobody did :(

 Here are some random pictures:
