East Cambridge

Today's photos

Neither of us woke up this morning until 9:45 so it was a late start for us.

First on the agenda was brunch at Bruegger's that we passed yesterday, unfortunately, this turned out to harder to get back to as all Green line trains weren't running due to a faulty overhead wire so we had to walk to the Orange line then got off at the wrong stop. We finally got to where we needed to be but by now it was 12 o'clock. 

When brunch was over with the trains were running again so it was back to the Orange line, then change to the Green to Science Park. It's always a bit of a nightmare changing trains underground, a bit like being in a rabbit warren. 

Eventually, we got back on the Green line and headed out to the Cambridge side shopping mall, I wanted to look at Best Buy at the tech, sad I know. From there it was a short walk to Toscanini's ice cream parlour, by now the temperature was 27c at 3pm, then it was a walk of about a mile to the Kendel Center Roof Top Garden which is an urban green space on the top floor a multistory car park where they grow flowers and vegetables. It's an ideal place to sit a soak up the sun for a while, even if it was a bit of a slog to get here. 

It was time now to head around the corner to catch the Red line back into the city which means time for a pub and something to eat. So the transit frustration continues with a broken train causing delays and even though we didn't have long to wait it was a squeeze to get on, thankfully we were only going 2 stops or about 3 miles. 

We were getting hungry now, instead of changing trains we come out of the station and went to the Beantown Pub got Mac and cheese, thinking about it, we should have just got one between us but you live and learn I suppose. 

We finally got back to the hotel about 6pm so it wasn't too long a day. I think we have both recovered now from lack of sleep travelling here. There's isn't many photos from today as we were just chilling out.
