Highlights:
Went on Boston Freedom Trail. Its a 2.5 mile walk in Boston downtown amidst history. Very enchanting places. It gives the essence of Boston, and feels like being actors in Before Sunrise. Saw nice street plays in Quincy market. Check them out here and here. Had lunch at Quincy Market. It hosts a number of fast food cuisines. Only sore point was that by the time we reached Bunker Hill Monument, it was closed (it closes at 4.30 pm) and we couldnt go atop. (We finally did climb all the way up on July 19th 2009 when we visited again with parents). It was one memorable walk!

Also, went to MIT campus and walked along the Charles River. (this was a week ago)

Highlights: Had plans to see as much of Boston as possible. But we could see only Prudential Center and Duck Tour. Duck tour was my first time too and its very interesting and lot of facts about Boston that I was not even aware of. The city kinda grows on you as you hear the history and one starts to like it. So many great personalities lived here and worked here. The first word processor was built here. The longest steel rope bridge in US is here. The duck tour itself where the road vehicle becomes river boat! Then there was this building on (side and) top of another building with the two buildings not touching one another. The crossword inventor was cremated here. Not to mention Harvard and MIT and histories behind it. There were so many facts about Boston that the duck tour personnel was rambling that I lost the count and forgot too! Its a real nice place and it was nice to re-like it!

Went to the Prudential tower - 50th floor. Also idled away at the base of the building as well as beside it where there are nice parks and fountains. I rather wished to have lived in Boston for some time rather than Marlborough again...anyways.
