Day 7 - Boston

We arrived in Boston at 7 AM after a smooth night.  I purchased the Old Town Trolley hop on hop off bus from the ships excursion before we sailed.  When we were in San Francisco last year, we purchased the Hop On Hop Off Bus from Princess.  When we finished our tour they took us back to the ship.  People were trying to buy tickets and get on board the bus at the terminal.  However, they would not let people on board, but told them to walk over a mile to one of their stops.  Today as people were trying to buy tickets to the Old Town Trolley they were told they must have a Princess excursion tickets or walk to the first stop.  I don't know how far it was, but it wasn't close to the ship.  I'm glad I've already purchased my Hop On Hop Off ticket for New York City from Princess!

I love the brownstones!

Cheers, where everybody knows your name

Fall colours everywhere they are are gorgeous

This tour was one of the nicer ones,  It's not a trolley like our last trip, but a large bus.  The windows were open as it hit a high of 25C/77F.  Our driver was Firefox.  He was excellent and had quite a sense of humour.  

I haven't shown any pictures of the dinners, and I should have.  So far, every meal has been tasty and hot.  We were sitting at shared tables for the first two days.  However, to make the early show, we've switched to a table for 2.  I like shared tables but it just takes too long for everyone to get served if you want to see the early show.  Tonight's dinner was Lamb!  My favorite and it didn't disappoint.

The performance tonight was Disco - Blame it on the Boogie.  The singers and dancers did a very enjoyable performance.  The music was wonderful!


A wonderful Red Hat Lunch

Yesterday our Red Hat group got together for our November lunch.  We went to one of the members condo recreation room.  It's in Vancouve...
