Urban Adventure - Boston!

Bill and I decided to do a little vacationing in our home town.  Granted, we didn't actually take any vacation time and we weren't in our home town but it was still sort of like that.  We booked an airbnb in Boston and had a long weekend adventure.
We took the bus down on Wednesday night and worked from the apartment on Thursay and Friday.  But that meant we just had to walk out the door to be in the city at night and no long drive home after dinner.
Here is our home away from home in the South End.
We had the penthouse flat.  Those spiral stairs lead to the roof deck (aka the cigar bar).
The place was small but perfect for two people with high end appliances (which we only used to make tea) and a gorgeous view.
Our first night out we only had to walk to the end of our street to find a tapas restaurant and start taking selfies.
Thursday night we actually walked farther afield - several blocks - before settling on Latin American food.  The waiter told me the empanada plate was small so I ordered an app and a side dish….only to find myself with enough food for a family of four.  I ate it all.
The small park near our place had some decorations…I think this is supposed to be water in the fountain?  I'm sure it looks more like something at night.  
It was nice to have the city on our doorstep on the weeknights but we were looking forward to the weekend….
