Beantown...

Saturday morning, we sleep in, but I am still awake before everyone. Of course. I'm showered dressed and ready to go.

We end up at lunch at a bagel place (Finagle a Bagle) across from the park which is awkward again. (I do the fruit things again, add a muffin, and drink some OJ. Awesome.)

We end up heading out to Cambridge from there. We ended up losing the boys at Harvard. Period. No idea. They just walked off while we were photographing campus. Elena and I wandered Harvard for a long time, looking for the law school, so I could take my Legally Blonde picture. We didn't find it.

We went down to Kendall Square and sat on the shore and watched the world go by... we headed back to the hotel and got ready for our gondola ride.

The gondola ride is the BEST kept secret in Boston. I looked FOREVER to find something really special... and that was it. The company uses true Venetian gondolas... and the package I booked included an accordion player who played some of my favourites like Moon River, strawberries, chocolates, cheese, and crackers... and of course, it was at sunset. We were told to take our shoes off, put our feet up, and enjoy the trip. It was SO relaxing. Absolutely incredible. Anyone going to Boston MUST do this.

Afterward, we photographed the night lights of Boston, walked along the Esplanade, and ended up having dinner in the North End at a fabulous little Italian restaurant called Piccolo Venezia. The North End made me really homesick for Italy. Elena also studied in Italy, so we love all things Italian.

We ended up pub hopping until 2:00, when we headed back to the hotel.
