Mini-Vacation In Boston: The End

The flight back was on time and uneventful. The breakfast at the lounge was great.

It was great to be unplugged from work for three days, and it was great all around. It’s good to have friends everywhere in the world 🙂

Mini-Vacation In Boston. Day 2: Evening

The last several things I saw in Boston.

The oldest tavern in America

Italian district

Best cannoli in town – the line is both inside and outside
Opening bridge
Same as in Chicago 🙂

I had a chance to capture the moment when the Duck Tour goes into the water!

Mini-Vacation In Boston. Day 2: The Ocean And The Food

My friend told me that in addition to taking tons of pictures, I also absolutely have to try some of the local food, and I can’t leave Boston without trying it.

With that in mind, we headed in the direction of the Boston Harbor.

We didn’t visit this museum – next time!
The harbor is absolutely amazing!

Mini-Vacation In Boston. Day 2: More Art

Each art museum is different, and there is no such thing as “too much art.” It does not matter that we have the Art Institute in Chicago, it does not matter how many art museums I visited in my life. It does not matter how many Florentine icons I’ve seen in my life, or how many Monet’s or Van Gogh’s. Each one is a new one.

Can you guess who the artist is? I could not believe it when I read the name!
Maybe there are more chances to figure out who’s work is this one, but it was not obvious for me either.
And you can see the artist’s name here 🙂
Toulouse-Lautrec, of course!

Mini-Vacation In Boston Day 2: Art And Coffee

Started the day at the Faro Cafe (the best coffee in Harvard, according to my friend). The coffee was good, and the cafe definitely had a vibe.

Could Van Gogh paint this chair?

Mini-Vacation In Boston Day 1: Evening

We walked to yet another neighborhood, Charlestown, for a Thai dinner and more history. It had a very different vibe, strangely more like a “small American town,” and at the same with way more history in the air.

Mini-Vacation In Boston Day 1: Walking Around

The thing I liked the most in Boston, was walking around different neighborhoods and feeling different vibes, starting from Cambridge.

Boston: When You Can’t Choose

Mini-Vacation in Boston Day 1 – Afternoon

After the Isabella Gardner museum, we went to the Massachuset Fine Arts Museum:

I am trying not to post too many artworks because my amateur photos do not do them any justice, but since I can’t talk about these artworks without showing them, I tend to post too many:). The picture below struck me, and when I read the story, it struck me even more.

And then to a Korean place for more desserts:

The first day went just perfect! The building where my friend live has a great gym

We went for breakfast to Tatte:

And then to the Isabella Gardner Museum:
