Boston!

The (only) upside to having a best friend move away is the opportunity to go visit a new place! Before summer came to an abrupt end I just had to fly out and spend some time with Anne and check out a great city. I got in late last night and after staying up late and girl talking we woke up and spent the day sightseeing.
Heading into the city
Holocaust Memorial

Each pillar had these numbers etched all over to represent each victim
Chillin' with a guy on a bench
Street performers
Good Ol' Sam Adams
Quincy Market
Lunch at Anthem Kitchen + Bar
Headed over to the harbor ("harhbuh" in a Boston accent)

Tried to escape the heat in the aquarium...it was still HOT!
Trinity Church: Founded in 1733
Absolutely beautiful inside
Considered to be one of the most important works of stained glass in USA
Next stop- Boston Public Library
Beautiful architecture
Made me feel like I should study
In the kids area
Last stop: The oldest restaurant in continuous service in USA Est. 1826
Anne and I had ourselves a drink in a building that has stood there for over 250 years
Known to be the area where the Boston Massacre happened
Loved this building
Dunkin' Donuts is EVERYWHERE is Boston, I don't know how Starbucks survives
