Remember a few weeks ago when it snowed in October? Well, in true New England fashion it was gorgeously sunny and in the mid 60s yesterday and today. Seriously! I'm not kidding!
In what has become an annual tradition I headed into Harvard Square on Plaid Friday (small business post Thanksgiving shopping day) to do some holiday shopping. It's such a great alternative to mall shopping since it's not usually crowded and there are some really unique stores. Usually though I have to bundle up. Not this year! It was an absolutely glorious day to be in the Square. JO joined me for the walk and we grabbed lunch at an Indian restaurant overlooking Winthrop Park and JFK Street. I ended up staying in the Square for a while longer after JO left because I just couldn't believe how beautiful it was out. I got most of my holiday shopping done. We ended up heading back to the Square to go see Hugo and have dinner at Wagamamma.
This morning I headed out early to run some errands. It was so gorgeous out that I was inspired to do some urban hiking. I headed through Kendall Square to the Salt and Pepper Bridge. The view is so amazing from that corner of Cambridge. You get this full panoramic view of the Boston skyline. I love watching the airplanes as the take off over the skyscrapers. I sat on a bench and just soaked up the sun and views. I am so lucky to live where I live! This spectacular spot is just a 25 minute walk from my apartment. I regret that I haven't taken this walk more often in the past three years. That's certainly going to change.
Tonight it's off to Harvard Square again for the tree lighting at the Charles Hotel. It's still beautiful out... this is what Christmas in California must feel like. I'm hoping to take advantage of the nice weather with one more outdoor dining experience before the weather becomes more wintery.
