Boston in the Fall October 19-21

On Tuesday afternoon November 18th Karen and I headed to Boston Where I was to attend a conference. We stayed in an older hotel fairly close to the downtown area on Exeter Street just a block south of Copley square. The location turned out to be very good in terms of being about to get around using public transportation. The normal temperature for Boston this year was 45-50 with lows of 36 degrees. While we were there it never got up to 36 degrees.









I spent most of Wednesday, Thrusday and part of Friday at the World Trade and Exibition Center. Karen wandered around Boston most of the days. On Wednesday night we went to Faneuil Hall and had dinner at Union Oyster. I had fresh clams, and oysters on the half shell clam chowder and mussels. Karen had Crab cakes. Thursday night we walked down Newberry street and had dinner in an old restrant called Charleys did a little window shopping and enjoyed the Christmas decorations and lighting.









On Friday after the conference Karen and I had some time before our flight left to do just a little site seeing. We walked down Newberry street to Boston Commons and back on Commonwealth Avenue to the Hotel. We stopped in several galleries, had some lunch and got to see some interesting things.




We got to the airport via subway and shuttle bus which was quite an experience with two heavy suitcases and a couple of backpacks. The flight back to Fort Wayne had a stop in Cleveland and some delays because of a fairly good amount of snow. We finely got home about 12:30 Saturday morning
