Boston - October 2007 - #1

Sheila and I flew from Detroit Metro into Boston Logan today, on Northwest Airlines. The flight was just a few minutes late and was uneventful. We were lucky enough to have logged in at 24-hours out and, thus, sat side by side in a 2-seat exit row, so it was quite stress free.

The cab ride to 27 Wareham Street was $22.95, counting tolls, and we tipped that up to $27.

We are about to walk a little over a mile to the Algonquin Club for dinner with SCUP colleagues and friends.

Well, Blogger won't let us upload pictures right now. I will share a couple of images from the condo we are renting: It has two showers, three toilets, a Jacuzi tub, a sauna, a state of the art kitchen, and wall to ceiling windows in the main rooms. Very nice, in other words.

We walked to a grocery two blocks away and loaded the kitchen with some supplies.

Then we worked on Pfizer and SCUP stuff for a while, before heading out to walk a little over a mile, through Copley Square, to dinner at the Algonquin Club with 9 other people.

The club was quite an interesting relic, with a self-service elevator with accordion doors and so forth. The dinner bill was quite interesting. Good company, though, and very stimulating conversation about campus heritage issues.

Sheila and I then walked back to our condo after dark, through fairly busy Boston streets.

Here are a couple of images from our walk - a little over a mile. Pleasant, cool but humid evening.
