FRO-YO, Books, Maps and Fire Dancers...


Ben &Ben & Jerry's and Bonnaroo bring you a FREE Fair Trade Music Festival here at The Shops at the Prudential Center! Local Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop will have Fair Trade sampling and local artists performing – great to have live music on the street from talented young musicians such as Cara Brindisi.

We were blown away by the magnificently grand interior of the Boston Public Library – such a prestigious landmark of a building bursting inquisitive minds and words from years of inspirational writings.



 

 The Mapparium is a three-story tall glass globe of stained glass that is viewed from a bridge through its interior. It is a unique exhibit and well worth a visit. We especially loved the acoustics - the whispering effect in the gallery was incredible, a ‘Harry Potter’ film feel! A person at one end of the bridge can hear clearly the whispers of someone at the other end, an obvious aural illusion.

Hungry Tiger Street Food Festival – Fire dancers aplenty, Chinese lanterns and an abundance of oriental sweet smelling food sizzling from market tents. Remarkable evening.
