Visiting Boston, Day Three

Dunkin Donuts Brunch 

Me & the Hot Dog Cart

Day Three, 8/23: Enjoyed a good night sleep because the king-size bed is so comfortable. Enjoyed a take-out brunch from Dunkin donuts outdoors, while watching kids playing with the dancing watering fountain in the sun. It was a nice breezy and sunny day. We gave Dunkin donuts a try simply because we don't have any branch in Seattle and it's close to the hotel.

We took T to Harvard square station and spent a good time walking around the campus and see if we can get a little smarter after the tour. After a walk, some iced tea would seem just perfect. It can be iced coffee but Geoffrey and I are not coffee drinkers for different reasons. I googled a tea place called Dado tea nearby, and finally sat down to enjoy a cup of iced tea. Geoffrey had a large cup of lemon iced tea with honey while I had a regular Thai iced tea.

To take a break from the sun, we decided to take an effortless T tour. Before dinner time, we transferred between the red line and the green line (B). We first hopped on the red line, going from Harvard square all the way to the south of Boston and saw people hopping on and off the train. Got on the green line, it went from underground stations in downtown area to above-the-ground stations, passing by Boston University's campus (east, central, west), getting to the suburb area. We took off T and walked to a Taiwanese style bakery to stock up bread for breakfast since Geoffrey has to attend the early morning session next day. Then we walked toward a Thai restaurant called Brown Sugar, where we enjoyed a shrimp patty appetizer, raman duck, and a seafood volcano (shrimp, scallop, mussel, squid, salmon). The seasoning was good with a lot of fresh herbs. The only problem was that we had too much food. :)
