Last week in Boston

I had a wonderful time in Boston with my husband. We walked, rode the subway, buses & trolley and climbed a bunch of stairs. We saw much of what Boston has to offer.

Every morning I woke up at 4:30 a.m. (except for Monday, 4 a.m.) to get ready to run on the hotel's treadmill. I didn't want to run outside because I didn't know the area too well and it was pitch back out. I was always the first person in the fitness center. The treadmill's were nice. They each had their own TVs and the fitness center had a huge big screen. It kept me company when I was all alone in the fitness center.

My husband and I ate at places everyday that were not in our hometown. That was easy because there isn't much choice of restaurants around here. We had steak, pasta, pizza, sandwiches, burgers and my husband had seafood. All of the meals were good except for one lunch. We weren't too thrilled with the service and our fries were lukewarm.

The weather was nice except for two days. I believe it was Wednesday and Thursday when the temperatures barely made it out of the high 50s. I couldn't believe how many Bostonians were walking around in T-shirts and shorts. I was freezing. I had to buy a knit hat because my ears were so cold. The knit hat has a Boston Red Sox logo on it. I'm not really a fan of baseball, but I enjoy watching the Detroit Tigers every now and again. When I bought the hat, the vendor asked if I was a fan of the Red Sox. I said no. What I was thinking was I was a fan of knit hats.

My favorite part of Boston is Beacon Hill. So much history and beautiful buildings in that neighborhood. On our photo walk tour, our guide Saba took us to John Kerry's house. It was big. But for him, I expected bigger. If you go to Boston I recommend the Photo Walk tours. Very informative.

I can't post an overview of Boston without a photo. Here is one from Beacon Hill.
