Our day started with a stroll through the Commons to State House, with it’s giant gold dome. We caught a bus that took us around the ‘Freedom trail’ sights and then to the harbor where we took a boat trip around Boston Harbour. I love being on the water and it’s a great way to get a ‘big picture’ view of the city. There is so much history in beautiful Boston and even the harbour area has museums and old boats to visit.
We had lunch at a diner, we wanted something light, Gray’s turkey sandwich was more than he bargained for. Thankfully my brisket roll was more manageable and seriously delicious.
We then walked through the Cambridge suburb of Boston to the Harvard Campus. It reminded me of my time studying at Wits. Just a whole lot bigger and very beautiful.
On the way home, we crossed over the Charles River and saw the MIT buildings. The Charles River is said to be the cleverest River in the world as it is surrounded by Harvard, MIT and Boston University.
We had dinner, lobster rolls, at the Atlantic Fish Company. The flower arrangements in the restaurant were proteas and stralitzias. I asked the waitress about the floral choice and she didn’t even know where Johannesburg was, let alone anything regarding our flora. She was however really sweet.
We finished dinner around 8:30 and as it was a nice night, we strolled home through the Commons, watched a softball game for a few minutes and the beautiful sunset. It was magical.

Love the common. The weather looks good.
