I just had to see it for myself...

The three of us were pretty lucky @ handling our liquor this year. It was the day after New Year's and we were up "early," sober, eager to brave the city again. Our hosts...well...they weren't as fortunate. They had to stay behind while we toured the city on our own.

My fav Boston snack (there's a fried dough stand everywhere), bottle of water and tons of napkins...OK! We're good to go!

We found the Frog Pond...5 minutes to closing! No skating in Boston for me :( It's all good. There were too many ppl on the ice to land my axels safely anyway ;)

So what's still open Jenny? (She was our designated map reader. In a car or on foot, she found the ''X'' that marked the spot.)

"I think we want to go this way?"

We stumbled upon the Boston Public Library because we saw the light display glowing on it from afar. The Prudential building (a.k.a The Pru) was not too far down Newbury from here. Thank goodness 'cause we were getting hungry!

One bread bowl of Boston Chowda later, we only had time to visit one more thing before going home. So we walked through the ever peaceful Public Garden to get to our car, which, by the way, was LEGALLY parked...right across from Cheers!

We found Fenway...but saw no flags.
