More of Boston

So it's my fifth day in Boston and my first day completely on my own in Boston. Bruce's conference started today. We had breakfast together and then I hit the gym, which is the nicest hotel gym I have ever seen! I freshened up and then hopped on the 'T' heading to the Museum of Science. Unfortunately it would have been way more fun if I had someone to play with there. It's really geared towards kids and it's fantastic! But again, I was bored as there was nobody to share it with. So I hopped back on the 'T' and got off at Government Centre to visit Faneuil Market. Had a bite to eat and then decided I'd just go for a walk. I have to confess something very silly. I still don't know how to cross a street here...I mean legally. There's walk signs on at the same time going across the street both ways...people cross when the hand's flashing. I just go with people. I figure as long as I'm in the middle of the crowd I have a chance of surviving a car strike! Ha ha ha! Anyway, I stumbled across the Boston Common and then Commonwealth Avenue. I just kept walking and then all of a sudden I recognised a neighbourhood - I had walked all the way back to our hotel! We're off to dinner with my cousin and her husband tonight, Italian food on Newbury Street. It's finally warming up so I hope New York is more in Spring when we finally get there!
