Day 40 of my trip...
Not much happening today...
Another travel day with no real sights seen. I did get to have the pleasure of driving in Boston rush hour traffic. Yep, these people do drive a bit rougher then most other places. But I think it's the designs of the roads that are at fault. To merge in here you have to be aggressive since there's rarely a merge lane and the traffic is so thick.
I headed out of Bar Harbor and just a few miles after I left the island I found a breakfast place open and accessible. They even had the blueberry pancakes I had wanted yesterday! Very good pancakes with lots of blueberries buried in the middle of the stack.
I made it to Boston fine and checked into my hotel. I hung around there while traffic died down just a little and then I went to the Hilltop Steakhouse for dinner. It was featured on Steak Paradise on the Travel Channel. BTW Aunt Sophie that steak place you were thinking about also was on that special, it's Peter Luger's.

Some of you might recognize the sign or the cows out front.
So for dinner I got the Ribeye. A very good steak, not as good as the one I got in Chicago but it was half the price and a bit bigger then the Chicago steak.
Tomorrow I'm going to do the Ducktour and the Museum of Science here in Boston. Then I'm meeting up with a half dozen on-line friends at the Summer Shack for dinner.
