We decided to take the duck tour through Boston which was fun and allowed us to see some more of the city (including a glimpse of Fenway, home of the Red Sox) and boating on the Charles River. Went back to Quincy Markets for lunch and walked back through the old part of town, Beacon Hill and again through the Public Gardens. There we watched some squirrels collecting food and enjoyed the spring colours of the trees and the thousands of tulips in bloom. Discovered the 9/11 memorial to the Massachussetts people who died on the plane which took off from Logan Airport.
We are sorry to be leaving Boston tomorrow, the city seems to me more like a European than american city, even the take away food chains are hidden behind beautiful facades! We strolled again along Newbury St which is just around the corner from our hotel and although there are stores like Gucci and Valentino, we also found vintage clothes stores and heaps of manicure and hairdressing salons
at extremely reasonable prices. Danelle got herself a manicure!
Had a quick bite at the Prudential food court - we had planned to go out for dinner
but were too tired to walk up to the North End so stayed in the neighbourhood. Hoping to have some more hours out and about tomorrow morning before taking the long flight to San Francisco for our last adventure.
