Getting to Know Boston Better.

Tom came to visit for 10 days in mid-April, so we had a few days in Boston, and tried to see and do as much as possible, whilst he was here.



We managed to get in a 'ball game', a whale watching trip (but minus whales), and a venture into Cambridge.



The new stuff wasn't instead of what have now become traditions, including munching on Mike's Pastry's cannoli. Thoroughly recommend the Limoncello flavour. Tasty.



Visiting the ICA, meant that we saw a part of the city we had not explored before. It was beautiful by the sea front, a great mix of industry and panoramic views.



Whilst we were in Boston, it was the start of the baseball season, and the first contenders were the rival NY Yankees. We saw the Red Sox against Tampa Bay Rays, and didn't really understand what was happening, but deciphered (with some help) that the Red Sox lost.



Cambridge was exciting and full of great shops, to the extent that Tom voluntarily browsed in a card shop. It had beautiful shop fronts, beautiful buildings, and funky graffiti, so for me the makings of a cool little town.
