We've had a fun afternoon and evening thus far. We had a really pleasant flight on JetBlue. I actually wish we booked JetBlue for our December trip to NY. We landed early and Logan was just as busy as I remembered it. While we waited for our bags I emailed our parents and texted Saffron & George. Then it was off to pick up the rental car.The traffic was light which made getting through the Summner Tunnel and onto Storrow Drive easy. We had a bit of trouble finding the guest house on Bay Street. It was one way so we were looking for 9 and ended up at 23 in no time. We went back down Comm Ave and after two attempts found parking. The Gryphon House is so beautiful. It is the brownstone of my dreams. Our room is so open and bright. I truly feel on vacation here!We went for a 2 hour walk from our guest house (a bit up from Miles Standish Hall at BU), down to Cleveland Circle and back up to Coolidge Corner. My feet were killing me! We had dinner at my favorite Japanese Restaurant. We did a hot pot where you put vegs and meat into the pot of broth and then when it is cooked you dish out the food and the broth and eat it. It was sublime!!!! We ate way too much. We then went to Trader Joes and Walgreens for supplies.We are going to spend the evening watching a movie after I test out the bath. We also need to think about which tour we're goig to do tomorrow. and I think we're going to go on a gondola ride on the Charles River on Saturday!!!!! This is too cool!!!!!
