We started the day with a bagel sandwich at Finagle Bagel. They serve delicious bagels, but I really love the conveyer belt with the horizontal saw that cuts each bagel in half.
Even the churches celebrate the Boston Marathon. This is Trinity Church which is located on Copley Square, the finish line of The Boston Marathon.
Sorry Sue, the tortoise isn’t going to win this race.
John Singleton Copley has a good view of the finish.
They are putting the finishing touches on the finishing line. Notice how the “FINISH” is positioned for the TV cameras not the runners.
Cheap carbs. Come on runners, buy some of my cheap carbs!!
The outside entrance to the Hynes Convention Center, site of the Race Expo.
Poor Sue needed to prepare her own motivational banner for me to display along the course. How sad.
This exhibit area was always full. Everyone is watching a narrated video of the course.
Interesting sign and store front.
The Duck Tours are fun. We didn’t take the tour this year, but we did the last time we were here..
Another great poster.
I guess new talent needs to get started somewhere. This is the Subway stop at Government Center. I always make sure I stop or transfer here every time I visit Boston. It has turn of the century charm you can’t experience anywhere else.
Up the escalator to visit Quincy Market.
It was a cold, wet day and nobody was taking a carriage ride.
Lots of good food in here.
Good things to eat on both side of the building.
I resisted the temptation, but they looked good!
Dad resisted the temptation to eat candy???
