Aruba!
I adore this island so much. Despite the fact that I'm very much aware that there is year-round, international tourism very prevalent there, I was amazed to find tons and tons of Boston-based memorabilia in the gift shops. See here:
This was outside of a restaurant close to the resort at which The Boyfriend and I stayed. "...unofficial official home of Red Sox Nation" in Aruba? Now, onto the items up for purchase:
How hilarious is that? I lived in Boston for 5 years while going to college, and I'd been to Aruba three times before, but I've never seen such unexpected and... well... out-of-place Beantown love! Maybe it was the fact we were there around St. Patrick's Day.
What do you readers think is the reason for the Aruban love of Boston?
