My friend's family is visiting this week from Oklahoma and they invited me to meet them in the city tonight for dinner. After work I took the subway to Downtown Crossing. I did a bit of shopping (I needed a new umbrella and the Eddie Bauer Outlet sells one of the smallest ones I've seen). It was fun to walk through the city. I hadn't been to downtown Boston in a few months. There was a preacher screaming about salvation on the street. I was shocked to see the demolished Filene's. I enjoyed walking along the Rose Kennedy Greenway (where the highway used to be--pre-Big Dig). I meandered through the North End and took photos which was fun. We met up at LaFamiglia and had a delicious dinner (I had angel hair pasta with alfredo sauce) and then stopped at Mike's Pastry for dessert (I got a chocolate eclair). We walked a few blocks in the rain to the parking garage and even though it was chilly (and I didn't use my new umbrella), it was fun to be in the big city.

A chocolate eclair? Don`t you mean just eclair? You may know ice cream...
