Segway tour of Boston

Last summer, my friend Jen and I bought a segway tour of Boston off of Groupon.  Nearly one year later, we finally went on the tour.  I have to say, I was really scared- I have never been on a segway before, and when we started out, I was awful at it.  Our tour guide told me that I'd be a pro within 5 minutes and sure enough, as we started out, I got better and better.  

We toured along the Freedom Trail: through the North End, Charlestown, Beacon Hill, and Faneuil Hall, seeing the sites of Boston and enjoying the gorgeous weather!   Jen and I survived the segway and all the pedestrians near us did too.

    Cool! I've never been on one but they look like so much fun. But I did see someone fall off it once - she couldn't stop and so she wobbled for a few seconds in all different directions before crashing to the ground with the thing! Wasn't serious, though. So good point about the pedestrians surviving...

    HAHAHHA! ALL I want to write is "OH NO YOU DIDN'T!". This is hilarious and beyond awesome, I think I am a little obsessed with it. Segways are so weird and people look so funny when they blaze on them but I wouldn't pass this opportunity up either! I"m seriously laughing over here, SO cute. Great memory, I'm sure.
