In our planning we had to leave today to visit the city of Salem , but we love so much Boston , we decide to give up and use the day to find the neighborhoods of Back Bay , Fenway and Kenmore that are rather distant from the center.
As usual we have breakfast with tea and sweets at the Fairmont Starbucks cross the North End neighborhood inhabited by Italian immigrants who abounds in wine shops and restaurants and we head towards our own ' Esplanade, a large city park that stretches for several kilometers along Charles River.

Our visit took about three hours. At the end we decided to dine in self-service that is in the basement in the museum. There are a wide range of food, decent quality and at a price cheap enough.

The Trinity Church has a very unique architecture. Inside you can admire the beautiful stained glass windows. Too bad the most famous, the Majestic in Christ is being restored and then you can not see.
At this point we're tired from the long walk and decide to have dinner with something quick to Quincy Market, before returning to the hotel.
