A Day at the Beach

On Friday night, Kelly and I went to a place called Whiskey's. Mostly college kids and completely packed... doubt I'll go back because I like to be able to breathe and talk occasionally.


Saturday we spontaneously decided to go to the beach. It's called Revere Beach and only took us about 25 min on the T. The strip of beach restaurants and most of the other people were a little Jersey Shore-esque, but the beach itself was great... big stretch of white sand and pretty water, and so close to home - who knew?

On Saturday night, Kelly, Katie and I went to the North End to have Italian with one of Katie's friends from South Carolina. We ate a place called Bella Vista. All the restaurants in the neighborhood seemed to be small, family-owned and dark so we just picked one. Good food, but way too much of it, which was not surprising for an Italian place. We went to Mike's Pastry afterwards and there were three different lines stretching out to the sidewalk. I had a bite of everyones desserts and it was all good, especially the gelato.



I went to a Japanese restaurant in the Fenway area for a late lunch today. A cute, family-owned place called Umi. Now that I found such delicious sushi and I am going to start getting take-out because it is actually cheap enough to be one of my regular places.

I just found out that I am going to Cape Cod for July 4th! I can't wait to get some more beach time and say pretentious things like, "I am just headed to my summer home on the Cape." I am staying in a cottage for free with Kelly because Chip's family has an extra one not being used for a couple of days. I am leaving on Tuesday afternoon and coming back Thursday. Then I am flying to D.C. on Thursday night so I have a busy and exciting week coming up.
