This morning, after breakfast Cris and I got ready and headed to the train station. We were heading to a place called Downtown Crossing. It was suppose to be a lot of shopping, restaurants and bars. Well it was very disappointing. Besides the Prudential Center, there really aren’t any malls around here. They have squares that you have to run around the streets looking for stores. We went into a few stores but ended up walking back toward the hotel and stopped at a few places here.

We then headed back to our favorite spot, the Prudential Center, and had lunch. We then decided the head back up to the Skywalk Observatory since it was a nice clear sunny, not so humid day. It was much clearer up there and we got some even better shots than the last time we went up.

After that we came back to the hotel for a little bit then headed out to find the Harpoon Brewery. They had a tasting a 4 today. We left at 2 knowing that we had to go to a new station and then try to find their bus line. It’s a good thing we left early. We transferred trains just find and got to the new station without a problem. It was then trying to find the bus line that caused a bit of a head ache. The web site for Harpoon said to look for certain signs that were no where to be found. So after walking around a lot we stopped to ask someone for help. However, this guy was helping a couple that didn’t speak English and we think he told them how to get all around Boston. Then this lady just cut in front of us to ask a question. Then the guy pointed out our way. We headed down the stairs and waited for our bus. It finally showed up and we were on our way. The bus stop was right across the street from the brewery which was nice for a change. We usually ended up having to walk a good amount to where ever we are going and go out of our way. We couldn’t do that this time. We did show up a little early but that was ok because this way we got bar stools. The tasting lasted about 45 minutes. The guy who was leading the tasting hasn’t been there long but did a very good job. Cris and I both tasted their Summer Ale, Dark Ale, Raspberry Wheat and Hard Cider. They were all pretty good… we wanted to get some of the Raspberry Wheat to bring back with us but they only had cases of it cold.

After all the beer we headed back to the hotel then went to dinner. We ate at this place called B. Good. It was kind of a healthy alternative to everything else we have been eating. We then headed back to the hotel to rest for the next day. Tomorrow is our last full day in Boston. We are going to be heading to Boston College and Boston University. Saturday we will be packing up the last of our stuff, checking out, going to the airport and spending time there and then flying back home.
