Between doctors and dentists, we barely had a chance to enjoy our gorgeous view of the Salem Harbour out of our windows. By Wednesday, we had the dentist, the gynecologist, the mammography and the bone density tests done. (Note how many of those John didn't have to deal with! Men don't know how good they’ve got it!)
In addition to the doctors, we managed to get the carpets cleaned and got the windshield "doctor" over to fix a ding in our brand new windshield. Given that we still have a general doctor's appointment and an eye exam scheduled for next week, we're going to start associating Boston with things less than pleasant.
We did manage to have lunch at our favorite Indian restaurant- Rangoli as well as try some local dives (recommended by our new friend, the carpet guy). We had drinks with him and the Salem locals at Dube’s. We should know better than to ask a Townie for restaurant recommendations. The fried fish at Dube’s was substantial in portions, but lacked a lot in the flavor category. We did have some interesting conversations with the locals, however. They also recommended the “chop suey sandwich” at the park down the street from us. Imagine chop suey on a white bread bun. A true Townie delight. We topped off our sandwich with a scoop of homemade ice cream at Hopp’s.
Boston hasn’t changed much. The Big Dig and it’s trillions of dollars didn’t seem to solve any of the traffic problems in the city. They appear to have given the patient a heart transplant-when in fact, it needed a complete organ transplant to get it well.
