The classic town-houses in Boston city.
The city of Boston is a center of high education and medicine in its nation. With world famous colleges and universities within the city and surrounding areas, high density of population, its cost of living is considered one of the highest in the country.
The parking site at Prudential Tower mall is so large that we were advised to take a picture of it or we would need hours to seek for vehicle later. The dishes offered in Lobster Restaurant in the mall is very delicious but what we admired was their mutual trust applied among human. Customer was allowed to handle his payment of bill without a server but with a portable card swiping machine. We would never experience this in any part of Asian countries.
No joke! Its ocean lobster meal ! Fresh from ocean and well cooked.
After weeks of western food, finally, guys have chance to taste a meal of Chinese cuisine and further more, it was from the best Cantonese restaurant in Boston China Town., opened and managed by HongKong chef.
Residence Inn is owned by Marriot Hotel Management. Though it located outskirt of Boston City, it provides a comfortable stay for all its guests.
We enjoyed the stay in this serene and graceful environment.
The beautiful fauna in front of the inn in its fall foliage color.
A pretty and soothing place to live.
Though reluctant to leave, we have to say good bye ..........
A small town nearby the inn is entirely nested in huge area of thick wood. People live in nature.
Leaving the small town in a morning breeze to continue our autumn journey.
We could not refuse to stop and have some pictures with these beautiful maple trees in their brightest fall foliage.
There are many factory outlets along the high way tempting people to stop by and shop.
