America at the Casino Ball Room Hampoton Beach

 Ariana and headed up to Hampton Beach.  Ari's mother had won us the tickets to the America Concert but first it was time for the first trip to Markey's Lobster pound of the year.

 Lisa Bouchelle was the opening act and frankly a forgettable one.  Half the time we could not understand her I thought it might be the acoustics but... we had no trouble hearing America when the got on stage.

 

 

 America really put on a great show, they are not a band I have ever really followed I am familiar with their popular hits but that all.  They really rocked on those classics, the newer stuff did impress me as much...

 With the exception of their "back page project" their interpretation of song "they wish they had wrote"  the cover of the Gin Blossoms hit "Till I hear if from you" was particularly good.

Lolita Boston

Ariana ad I took a trip into Boston to try a restaurant she had her eye on for while.

Lolita a very hip trendy Mexican Restaurant with a great atmosphere

Trinity Church and the John Hancock

Ariana liked the details on this church, she was singing "eye of Notre Dame"

From the Disney move about the Hunchback.

Gargoyle on the Church

Park in Boston you do what you have to do. We saw this while walking in the wrong direction to the hotel.

Great atmosphere very old world I could almost imagine some Spanish swashbucklers strolling around the place.

Shredded Pork Tacos and and Green Rice

Wax covered section of stone stone walls...  there must have been some serious candle light here.
