Boston - day 3 - Duck Tour

Wow... this was about a thousand times better than I expected. In Boston (and several other cities) they have a "duck tour" that you can take. It is a little tour bus type thing that takes you around the city and then all of a sudden you find yourself approaching the river, ocean, stream, lake, whatever and BAM you start floating and it is now a boat. The boat takes continues the tour through the water and then makes its way back up on land. Hence the reason for calling it a duck tour. These machines are really cool and they are really old believe or not. They were actually used in D-day during WWII to attack the beaches. Anyways it was a ton of fun because I convinced my group to sit in the back of the bus where you are sitting outside, exposed to the elements. Everyone else sat inside the bus where you were protected from wind, water and everything. But not us. haha it is so cold in boston that they provided blankets for those brave souls (us) that attempted to sit in the back. Our tour guide is what really made the tour a lot of fun i think. She was really sarcastic and just really funny with telling the stories of Boston and everything. Everyone was supposed to quack at other people and other buses going by because we were the duck tour. It was a lot fun... well at least I had a lot of fun with this part. For example, we went by the ritz hotel (the most expensive hotel in boston) and she told us that this was a no quacking zone. She said that the duck tours used to go by there and quack and everything, but the ritz hotel started complaining. She said that it was the best though because they were the ritz-quackers.. haha. Well, I thought it was funny. This tour turned out to be a lot of fun. It was nice.
