Boston!



Boston has been on the list of cities I've wanted to visit for ages, especially after hearing so many amazing things about the city from my friend, S. So imagine my delight when work decided to send me as part of team to Boston for some software training.

So, okay. I was only there for just over 24 hours, and yeah, I was in a hotel ballroom for most of that time, with barely time to catch a glimpse of the Freedom Trail, let alone to travel along it, but, still, I was there! hee hee

Here are a few shots of my quick dash into and through the city.

The view from my hotel room over the Charles River at sunrise...

And from just outside the hotel later on...

Walking past Faneuil Hall...

One of my colleagues at the Cheers replica bar...


Here's a shot of an irish pub for AM...


Of course, now I want to go back and REALLY see Boston ...Loved it!

I can't believe I forgot to post about my home away from Home. I LOVE Boston and look forward to it each time I get to go. This year I have been 4 times. I feel so luck to spend so much time there and hope that we can all go sometime. My sister would love us to come we will take over the house sometime when they are away!
Glad you got to see a slice of Boston.
