In Copley Place we saw people setting up and practicing for a fashion show.
Evidently it was Fashion Week. When did that become a thing? 
All of the women walkers but one wore heels. I wonder if she was vilified. I think Tyra would have had something to say about that. The boot wearer is smart though. Let's say there was a zombie attack. She'd be able to run, outpacing the other models. And if some model-zombies were made, she would still be able to outrun them. Assuming they kept their shoes on. Huh. I will have to think about that part of it. Do zombies notice their footwear? 
Tons of people around, again. I forgot what its like to be in a place where people choose to walk in the streets (and are able to safely. Sidewalks!). I have lost the city dweller's ability to be an effective pedestrian - I meander here and there, looking all around.
This room full of people working out was right above a busy restaurant. 
Boylston Street offers a lot of restaurant choices.
It also had this Hubway, Boston's new bike sharing system. I love this idea.
This girl and her friend picked up bikes while we were standing there - it seemed to be a relatively quick task. If you don't have a credit card you are probably SOL though. (Having a credit card is not a universal thing in SXM the way it is in the USA).I love Boston. You can walk all over the place.
I have more pictures, but I'll put them up in a new post.

I feel like I've gone on vacation with you! These pictures are pretty great. New England is so pretty, especially in the fall. I hope to visit Maine one summer.
We have Capital Bike Share in DC and it's wildly popular here!
The best thing about NE? The Lobster!!! :)
Hi Jess
I'm from Massachusetts and absolutely love you pics of Boston -
Thanks for bringing me back home
AND YES - the lobster is the greatest there - you won't find any sweeter better tasting lobster than in New England

Hey gibber and nanci - glad you like the pictures!
Every time I see the bike share thing I am super jealous. I saw it for the first time in Italy and it just seemed to show the spirit of the town, i.e. please feel free to use a bicycle around here, no one will hit you with their car. I just like that, I don't know why.
Yum, NE lobster. We didn't get to have a lobster dinner at the standard shack type of place but at the fancy place we went they served us NE lobster poached in butter, which was excellent.
