With a goal of making the most of Summer, me and two other Joisey girls decided to try discovering Boston last weekend( August 5-7). With everything mapped out by Joyce(the ever capable member of 373 Singles) and having booked a place for us to stay in Wyndhan Boston Downtown via RCI Travel(wonderful to be a member)off we went to BOston.
Aboard Amtrak(the official out of town transpo of Joisey Girls) we dosed off to recharge ourself. Arriving at Boston South Station, me being a clicker, got myself fascinated with the hangings on the ceiling, turn on the camera and began clicking. You know what happened next; a Boston Police in civilian clothes was at my side immediately. Boy! now do i look like a suicide bomber!!! In fairness to officer, he was so discreet, even i didn't notice that i was being aprehended(my attention was elsewhere that time, even if he's showing his badge, i didn't notice it lolzz.)To top it all we even asked him for directions lolzz.
After check in and freshening up, we were ready for some adventure. But first and foremost would be eating adventure(the most important part of itinerary). With map in hand and some nice people along the way, we went to Chinatown(to meet my kalahi lolzz) and was able to find kanin with roasted duck and roasted pork(hmmmm) and lo mien( we tried Hongkong style, not that good; i'll stick to "pancit").
With stomach full and some calories to burn we walked to find a taxi to bring us to Prudential Center for the SKYWALK. Did some posing and clicking here and there and some kalokohan atop the tallest building there. The view was awesome, was able to get a good shoot of Fenway Park( the home of the Boston Redsox, GO YANKEES). Calories burned out we went searching for Cheers, have a sip of their rootbeer and some cheesecake and burgers.
Second day, we found ourself visiting our Alma Mater, Harvard University, went to Harvard Museum of Natural History and then off to the sea to do some whalewatching. Sailing to the deep waters with seabreeze fanning on my face, i feel myself being cleanse; off go the stress that have been building up on me these past months. And guess what, we were able to see five whales, two hunchback and three smaller species(waahh can't remember the name). One of them even do some somersaults and backflip which a rare occurence on whalewatching expiditions, boy aren't we lucky(or blessed perhaps, kasi i was really praying na i got to see one) and its our firstime.It was wonderful, amazing, awesome!!! Of course after that we sure build us some appetite, so back to hotel, freshen up we walk to the Marketplace in Faneiul Hall. We decided to try Kingfish Hall and oh boy, you should try it, yum, yum!!(just don't mind the prize) worth it!
Third day, early morning visited Science Museum, an interactive museum that you have to spend the whole day to really enjoy it( but we lack the time, plan to go back na lang). In the afternoon we explored the New England Aquarium, got aquaianted with the dolphins,(gotta watch March of the Dolphin) and the piranhas and the sharks. Even see someone eskuba diving lolzz( iniiskuba ang mga bato sa aquarium wearing the gears and all). Four pm sharp found ourselves back to train station, drained but have a whale of a time.
Back to the Province!!!!
