Yesterday was a lot of fun, even tho' we were both exhausted by the end of the day. Took the 9 am bus from Nashua to South Station for a day of fun in Boston. We hung a left after leaving the station and walked over to Chinatown. Stopped for a strawberry smoothie with black pearls (black tapioca) at a local restaurant on Tyler St. that had dead ducks hanging in the window. Stopped at a little schlock shoppe where Anna bought a little dragon to remember her Chinatown adventure. Of course we couldn't miss the Chinese bakery (I kid you not) where Anna chose a slice of mango mousse cake and I got some pineapple bread to take home. Anna was amazed that we were the only round-eyes for blocks around. I think the Chinese were just as surprised to see two Caucasian ladies wandering around at 10 in the morning. It really is a fascinating part of Boston.
We walked everywhere! Up to Downtown Crossing where we wandered around Macy's checking out the $350. purses and trying on $300. sunglasses and glamorous hats. We went Tremont St., stopping at King's Chapel to listen to a lovely flute and harp concert for a while, then on to Quincy Market for lunch and window-shopping. We wandered along the waterfront, visiting with the seals outside the Aquarium and watching a 3-D IMax movie in their theater. We continued on down the waterfront, past the gorgeous hotels and prime waterfront property, back to South Station and the Boston Express Home.
Today we stayed closer to home and visited the Butterfly House in Westford, MA, had lunch at the 99 in Lowell and then took in a film (The Bridge to Terabithia) at 3 pm. Another nice, nice day for the two of us.
