We took Gianna on her first trip into Boston today. It was a balmy 54 degrees, so we bundled her up in the stroller, walked to the T, and headed to North Station. We took her around the new Rose Kennedy Greenway, the nice little series of parks that replaced the above ground portion of 93, when they built the Big Dig. It was not exactly in prime form, since absolutely nothing was green yet. The joys of living in the northeast. Yay.

But, we did end up meeting up with our friends Jason and Lauren and heading to the North End to get some delicious food, and then some pastries from Modern Pastry. I love that place. We hung out at the pastry shop for maybe an hour or an hour and a half. It was a blast, talking, drinking cappuccinos, and just having a good time.

Gianna has now already easily handled a restaurant. Everyone loved her, and she was so well behaved. Minor crying, but only because she was hungry, so Merri fed her at the table.

Today’s shot was of a cupola of a building I saw when walking down the greenway. I was so happy to get outside in the nice weather and see sunlight for a change.

[009/365] – Modern Pastry

[009/365] - Modern Pastry

Went to the North End in Boston tonight to wander around and take pictures. I’m trying to work on my ability to take good photos at night. I’ve not been pleased with my performance so far. But tonight, I think I made some progress. I think it’s pretty clear that I need a tripod for alot of what I want to do, but that can wait. I have a lot of room for improvement still without one!

In the middle of taking pictures, we stopped at Modern Pastry on Hanover Street in the North End, and had a cappuccino and cannoli each. Modern Pastry is my favorite pastry shop in the North End, Mikes Pastry is also good, but I prefer Modern Pastry. After that, we went and took some more pictures, then went to my favorite restaurant in the North End, Al Dente. It’s a small little restaurant, but has amazing food.
