We left Brooklyn around 3:15 p.m. We arrived in our room in Cambridge precisely just in time to watch The Apprentice at 9:00 p.m. A bit longer drive than normal. Traffic was a nightmare from Brooklyn all the way to New Haven, CT. We took I95 since the Hutch and Merritt were both messes from the time we got in the car.

Once in Boston, where I've been, oh, like a zillion times, I managed to make a wrong turn on Storrow Drive. See, to cross over to Cambridge, you get off Storrow at Government Center (or Govt Ctr as the sign reads). However, just this once, I was actually trusting the GPS to remind me when to turn.

And it didn't.

So...we followed this loopy road which looked ok since it took us across the Charles. I then made my second mistake: I avoided the I93 ramp and stayed on US1. That however ramps around and around to the Tobin Bridge. Once on, you cannot get off until you are in Chelsea.

Another set of driving around blocks and we were back on the Tobin Bridge. However, inbound there's a US$3.00 toll. This time we did take the I93 ramp, which isn't actually a ramp to I93 but to local streets in Somerville.

We pulled into The Marlowe and let Frisket out. She's popular here, they even had a greeting for her at her eye level, though as far as I can tell she cannot read.
