Boston day 2, I started with breakfast a muffin and fresh OJ - Finally some I could stomach and not want to throw up just at the smell of. This little cafe has become my favourite place cheap, good fresh food and so close as well
I started today with a private tour, the driver was nice and was spouting off random facts and trying to see what I knew and didn't know about the city - trust me I didn't know much. Fenway park was my first stop, this is the home of the Boston Red Socks - Baseball team for those who are unsure. There is a lot of history behind the team and the stadium.
I am not a huge baseball fan, truth be known I don't know much about the game at all, but I really enjoyed the tour there were only two other people on it. We got sit in the Green Monster seats (the best seats in the whole stadium) They are actually raffling of these seats this year because they are so highly sort after.
The press box and press areas were interesting, to be able to see how they are assigned where they report from (rankings, and separate area for out of town journalists)
After Fenway park it was time to try and make myself feel smarter a trip to MIT and Harvard (note: it didn't make me feel or even become any smarter). I loved wandering Harvard and Harvard square I however have a lack of photos as some people mistook me for a student and I loved that so much I didn't want to look like a tourist. Even shops were asking if I had my student card for student discount. Harvard also meant shopping - I was missing an amazing friends 30th Birthday and she really wanted a Harvard Hoodie and coffee mug so I happily made this happen.
Back to Quincy market for some more shopping - a Hoodie for myself, seems to be what I am getting from each place, I also had a bite to eat. I tried the much talked about Boston Cream Pie, which isn't a pie but a cake. My overall thoughts really average and not something I would have again.
After a quick stop back into the hotel, I gathered a large bag of things to post back to Australia as I am already running out of room, I don't want to think about how much it costs me to post and the fact I didn't post that much stuff lol, but it did give me a little more room in my suitcase - which I am sure after a few days in NYC will be no more room at all.
After finding a post office and sending my package I wandered back to Boston Common and to the frog pond, it really felt like I had stepped onto a movie set with the lights in the trees, people ice skating, it was so magical and something I could sit for hours and watch.
I didn't try ice skating here as I think I will attempt it in NYC - Watch this space for reports of broken arms or severed fingers - we all know I lack coordination
After another busy Boston day I had to go back and pack eeeeekkkk ready to hit NYC in the morning
