Of course loved the segment today that revealed more of David Marlow and what stood out was that you were willing to get out of the comfort zone and still do not need to like some of the new experiences. I have some too but very little with food as I like 99% of what I have seen within my scope and would try most anything worthwhile not as a dare but to expand my experiences. Yes enjoyed the Boston notes as I was born in Boston, lived in East Boston until a teenager and moved to the South Shore (MA) where I have been since...and yes traveled around inside and outside the USA. One thing that really caught my attention... you saying you swam in shark invested waters. Of course Jaws was filmed in Cape Cod (embedded in me as a teenager) and we see sharks, especially Great Whites much in the Summer and on Shark Week in July. For me not as much fear as the type of sharks are less than others, but if in Great White especially shark infested waters I was to swim in and the losing my life to the horror of the incident would be terrifying but more so is the fact that my family/friends would blame it on me...and I think they would be right ;) SO> lesson to be learned as I have done my share of challenges is>>>weigh the challenge and make sure the event is worth dying for because it just may be the case and honestly most are not in that context! Make sure the experience is one you can live with and is truly done for the right reasons...

Thought of you and a few other Boston friends as i was typing this. Wish I had known you when I was making regular trips years ago.
As to the sharks, let's say it wasn't 100% intentional. 😉
