Of course, I couldn’t resist the Boston Library and taking a sneak peak at the new renovations on the first floor. Wow, what a treat to experience this world-class library that any reader or learner would fathom over to just sniff the wonderful old library smells!

Avoiding the quicker runners, I ambled myself along the oldest of walks, crowned by Winston Churchill as the grandest boulevard in North America. I can see why!
