Boston, June 2011 -- Boston Common, Revere Beach, and South Wharf
Last day in Boston, it was a Sunday. So took a leisurely walk all over town.
Actually, my hotel was just across Boston Common, but I never had the time until Sunday to visit it...and I chose the nicest sunniest day. I am a genius.

And being a nice sunny day, guess who was at the gate of Boston Common?
Statue of George Washington
"Industry"
Just beyond Boston Common was the pub which was used to film "Cheers"
Later that afternoon,went to walk at Boston's Prudential Centre, the biggest mall in downtown...
There was a Catholic Chapel in the mall, and being a Sunday, there was evening Mass when I was there...
It was getting late, so I headed to Don Carlos, where I had the best meal EVER. Seafood Paella, for about US$18, and it was fantastic. I wrote a review at Trip Advisor, here
On the way back to the hotel, I stopped by to see 500 Boylston, the offices for Boston Legal!
The next morning, I headed out to Revere Beach...the nearest beach for Bostonians and connected by subway...I had been here almost 15 years earlier, and nothing had changed. Unfortunately, the morning was cloudy and cold...
This former chapel at the Beach is now the police station.
I have no idea what these steel installations are supposed to represent, but it I thought they looked like laptops!!!
Further down the Wharf is their municipal court house and office. Very beautiful architecture.
For dinner, it was BBQ ribs. Seriously, couldn't finish.
Later that evening, walked back to Pru to get a train back to the hotel, chanced upon this beautiful fountain at the Christian Science Plaza...at sundown (9pm summer)...
And since I was at the Pru, I stumbled upon the Cheesecake Factory...oh well, Chocolate Cheesecake for breakfast tomorrow...
