& Ians RTW Prov Route
on I Langley's travel map.
Ive decided that since i only have a full day here, the best way to see the city is on one of many tours available. I picked the tram car tour (should have taken the duck tour, which goes on the water as well). I might as well have been on the No 4 to town. The driver guide didnt say anything about the land marks. He was only intrested in the detours he had to make because of the Lesbian Pride march going on in the centre. However the bus did take me to the Cheers bar where i sat on Norms barstool and had lunch.
Headed for Newbury Street which is made up of long lined Geogian style houses converted in to boutiques for all the major posh brands (bostons verision of 5th ave but not so in your face). Actually found an internet cafe there, (its the only one i could find in Boston). Anyone going to Boston should should check out newbury street for the shops and cafes.
Night time i went to see the Blueman Group. Which is basically 3 men painted blue creating music, art and generally larking around. Brilliant - Top night.

Tram car tour doesn't sound too bad & you picked the best day of the year too....Lesbian Pride Day, of course i think lesbians have a lot to be proud of every day, perhaps not so much the KD Lang lookalikes in their comfortable shoes, but those pretty ones i've seen in those 'art' films you have on your top shelf at home! Yeah Lesbians sure are fantastic mmmm..........sorry drifted off there!!
So you managed to get yourself to Cheers, did they all know your name, or were you actually confused with Norm.....come to think of it the resemblance is uncanny!!
Little known fact about the Blueman group, they're not actually painted blue, they are in fact blue skinned.......legend has it that they're the product of a unholy alliance of woman & smurf (Papa smurf to be exact, the old one with the beard) it makes me sick to my stomach just to think about it, although having said that, the girl smurf with the long blonde hair was pretty fit, OK she's no Betty Rubble but.........
