We are started our day out with the plans to visit museums... which are air conditioned... AND take taxi's to arrive at said museums. Went for breakfast about 10ish at the "Trident Books and Cafe".... that was about 4 blocks from our hotel. We saw more and more shopping stores on our way. All built in the old buildings... so awesome... but, back to the day... after breakfast, we decided to walk to the St Charles River and then hop a cab to the museums. We were so warm and figured the river would have a breeze to cool us down. I will say, the breeze in town felt like you opened an oven door... next to the river.. well, not a whole lot better. We have noticed lots of emergency vehicles racing around. The heat is getting to people. Today, one was for a person just laying on the sidewalk next to the steps to a store. She was pretty out of it, but, it seemed in the end, alcohol probably was playing a big role in it too.
We followed the river as far as we could, and got on to Charles Street... Someone we meet yesterday had told us there was a yummy ice cream shop there... we found it, we loved it! While we sitting there, Jerry mentioned doing a geocache... and, we started checking the app and found some possibilities. The end result.. we found one of the cache's... another one, we couldn't really look for too well cuz there were too many folks around. It made the walking we were doing a little easier to handle... I was busy with the GPS on the phone, etc that time passed quicker... Well, about 3 pm, we decided, forget the museum, time to go home. I tell you, our room felt so good! Nice and Cool!
This has been a good trip... had a few, will quite of few, of ups and downs with Halley, but as always, one blocks that out and just remembers the good stuff. We have visited so many new places and created a bunch of neat memories! Thanks for coming along with us!
This is the building where we had dinnner with a view last night... 52 stories!
One of the many little bridges next to the St Charles... These were not over the river itself, just over the little causeway that ran along the river.
The Boston Pops conductor, Arthur Feidler (SP?)... this was sclupted from thick sheets of metal. Pretty cool!
When the Pops perform outdoors... July 4th is a biggee here!
Great Ice Cream shop.... Jerry and I were trying to figure out what Geocache we should go for
At 3:30, this is what the Elevator Outdoor Temp said... I guess we were a little warm!
