Shopping in Boston

Fancy boutiques along the tree-lined Newbury St. - shoppers paradise!!

Hello there folks, well it did not take long before I went on my travels once again. As a birthday treat I have treated myself [as yet not been paid for] to a weekend away in Boston, MA in the USofA.

So far I have been window shopping, visited the Cheers pub, done some more window shopping, sat and looked studious with a big book in the Harvard Campus - got mistaken for a local, twice, so I must have looked intelligent enough - and done yet more shopping.

I have felt like I have been walking around a movie set, the place is really clean and picturesque. The people here fit exactly into the stereotype that you see in the movies - wollen jumpers, pearls etc.

I even saw a student carrying around a tiny little dog [Legally Blonde stylee!!!!

Spk sooon, Vx
