M&M&M's adventures - Boston day 1

Today Marika had a meeting with a pediatrician at Harvard Medical School and she was also going to visit a feeding clinic at the hospital in the afternoon. So Michelle and I were doing our own thing today and we said we would meet up with Marika when she had finished.

We were staying in Copley Park so we decided to walk around up to the main road and up to Copley square. I popped by a Pandora store and managed to get a teapot to represent Boston - famous for the Boston tea party.

We just had a great leisurely walking day and checked out some of the old churches in the area. When we made it to Copley square, there was a farmers market and so we were able to sample some local produce and homemade goodies. We bought some homemade chocolate fudge, some maple nuts, apple cider (non-alcoholic) and whoopie pie!!

After that we walked to the Public Park and looked for the bench where Robin Williams and Matt Damon sat in the movie Good Will Hunting.

Michelle is a fan of that movie Good Will Hunting so on her list was to see the L-Street Tavern which was a shooting location in the movie.
We took an uber from the Public Park to South Boston to the L-Street Tavern which was a little quaint Irish pub. The bartender was really nice and took pictures for us at the booth where Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and others sat in the movie scene.
 
Michelle tried a local beer Samuel Adams whilst I had a Magners. It seemed like a good idea except we both realised our tummys were empty... So we went across the street to a little Italian diner and had some spaghetti and meatballs.

After that we caught another uber to Harvard to have a look around.

Marika called and let us know she was back at the apartment so we took an uber back. Then we walked out to the Cheesecake factory for dinner.
