Boston

This week I traveled to Boston for the ASHA convention. I was caught off guard during the landing process as it looked as though were were going to literally land ON THE WATER! I was wondering if we had those airboat floatation devices when suddenly we crossed onto solid ground and came to a stop. It's quite an experience.

From what I have seen Boston is actually a really nice city. It's clean, the fall colors are beautiful, and it has a very intellectual atmosphere. The buildings are very distinguished and elegant.

I've also had some great food while here. :)

However. It is quite cold. I dressed for the occasion with a wool coat and a hat and scarf and gloves but still had to stop by Starbucks for some internal warmth before heading back to my hotel after dinner.

My hotel was built in the 1920's and is really lovely. As I write this I'm sitting in the huge lobby with Christmas decorations and chandeliers and even a live piano performance. It's called the Boston Park Plaza Hotel if anyone wants to check it out next time you are in Boston!
