Scenes of Boston





As promised, here are pics of my last day in Boston. Once I knew we were definitely moving back to Seattle, I spent a marathon Saturday from 12pm-7pm seeing everything I wanted to one last time. My day started with getting lost around Charlestown and ending up in a neighborhood with only El Salvador stores....it was a little un-nerving. I re-grouped and got myself to a parking lot in the North End. From there I explored the North End, went Paul Revere's house, had lunch (lobster raviloi!) at a little Italian cafe, cruised thru the Paul Revere Mall up past the Old North Church, over to Copp's Burying Ground, then across the Charles River over to the USS Constitution and USS Cassin Young. Then I headed back over the river to the Fanuiel Hall area and downtown....then thru the Common and Public Garden and over to the famed Newbury Street shopping area. I went down one side for about 8 blocks, then back up the other side. Went to this amazing department store, Louis Boston, and browsed at Prada Shoes, $500 jeans, etc....I didn't buy anything there, but lots of beautiful things to look at. By the time I started heading back to my car, my joints were getting sore from walking. Not sure how many miles I walked, but I was feeling it the next day. I'm defintiely not 18 anymore! HA So, in conclusion, Boston is a city not to be missed!! I've posted these pics small in order to fit many on this and my next post, so you may have to click on them to see closer detail. ENJOY!!!
