Days 45 & 46: Boston
- Backdated -
Boston is a lovely city, more laidback than New York City and prettier. We noticed how pretty it was on our way there by bus. The trees that hug both sides of the road were the greenest trees you've ever seen, some were red and some were yellow. Against the deep blue sky, the scene was just beautiful.
Boston has many memorials built for their early years when the British first stepped foot into this new land. We really learned a lot about America on our trip here. The early English that came to this new land were sorta rebels who wanted to leave England.
They settled here and then had a revolution and gained independence from England thus there was 'the Declaration of Independence' which was signed (the same one we heard about in the movie 'National Treasure 2'.
There are many statues built to commemorate their forefathers like Paul Revere and of course Benjamin Franklin. The statues look quite magnificent but after taking so many shots of them, I got bored and didn't include them below.
Boston is pretty but when I say 'laidback', I really mean laidback. Shops close at about 5pm (good life man) unless you're a big chain store. There are only 3 cinemas in Boston which I found out, only 1 in the city center. It was a little boring when it was night and the shopping there pales greatly in comparision to NYC.
Btw, we caught Indiana Jones on our last night there (just last night). Tickets were very costly - $10.50 (that's about SG$14) for 1 person. (Chris paid) hahaha.... They showed some lame movie info on past movies now selling on DVD, some movie trivial before the show and 15min worth of trailers at 9pm (which was supposed to be start of the movie). The experience was not much different from Singapore.
Pictures below.
Relection of the sky from an apartment window.
A little girl and her grandfather strolling in Boston Common Public Park.
This is the Boston Public Library, very old and beautiful with gorgeous architecture.
Chris, against a dark sky which I love. Great lighting.
Too bad I don't have an eager model.
This is a pair of non-significant buildings. But I just love the dark sky and late afternoon light cast on the buildings.
The sky is just so gorgeous in Boston. The weather was very good.
Newbury Street. Very pretty streets like this is not an uncommon sight in Boston.
