Day 14 - Boston


Day 14 – Gordy is finally happy J  We wake this morning to find it snowing ….. significantly.  We head down Newbury Street, which is Boston’s answer to 5th Avenue, stopping for coffee on the way.  There are lots of fabulous shops along this street so, (only to get out of the weather of course!), we stopped at a number of them.  The cross streets are named starting “A” through “M” so when we hit Fairfield Street, we turn and head to the Prudential Shopping Mall, which is huge……more shopping ….yaay!  We lunch at “Legal Sea Foods”, a great oyster bar in the middle of the Mall.  You can walk through the Prudential Shopping Mall to Copley Place but eventually you have to brave the outdoors and it is really quite unpleasant.  Still snowing and the wind is whipping up the snow from footpaths and awnings alike.  We wore our ski boots today and we really needed them.  Nobody can give us a definitive answer as to weather predictions for the next day or two, they seem to have as much confidence in their meteorologists as we have in ours.
Too cold to head out so after a few zzzz’s back at the hotel we head down to the Bristol Lounge which is the Hotel’s restaurant and bar.  This is a really beautiful venue….expansive in size, ambience abounds, fabulous service – definitely recommended. J
