After two weeks of intense orientation and design challenges, finally enjoying a much needed break before we dive into our classes.
This being a Labor (note labour spelled without the 'u'!! This is America, Duh!) day weekend, we headed to the lively Quincy market and Faneuil Hall.
There was a great crowd and a lovely crisp September evening. There were some nice performances going on, music and of course some great food.
Walked around the place. Cobbled streets, beautiful architectural structure, felt almost like London for a while.
There is a food court which is lined with all types of cuisines. Makes you spoilt for choices, but finally I decided what to have, after walking up and down the aisle a couple of times to weigh my options. The food ranges from philly cheese steak burgers to brick-oven pizzas to japanese teriyaki to Mediterranean food.
I however decided on the Maine lobster roll with clam chowder! The line to place the order had 20 people at least, but I dug it through and it was rewarding. The roll was amazing- the lobster sweet and moist. The clam chowder - creamy and steaming hot. Heaven!!
Then we made our way to the long wharf for the main event of the night - fireworks!
The show was awesome - plenty of fireworks of all colors lit up the Boston skyline.
Lasted for ~20 minutes but was worth every minute. Standing in the park watching it in the cool September evening, I missed Nikita so much. She would have loved it here. It will have to wait for now. Studies and grinding it out first, before we can have a normal life and enjoy these simple pleasures of life.
We were then joined in by Akshay and Gaytri. All of us headed to Cheers (from the TV show), for a round of beer, before we called it a night. Had a nice beer - blue moon - recommended by Akshay- with some nachos and cheese and of course some even better conversation.
Finally took a cab back - watching the beautifully lit Boston skylike while crossing over the Charles river.
I think I am in love with this place called Boston. More to see and explore in future, but I am mighty impressed with what I have seen so far!!
