This map shows some section of Boston. The map is bigger than my scanner. so I can't show all of it. The location of the hotel is shown with the red arrow. Downtown Boston is on the right of the map, as is Boston Harbour, site of that famous tea party.
This map shows more detail of the hotel area. My room is indicated by the red arrow; I was on the 27th floor, looking roughly west south west. The 'T' in a box is the train station, and it was indeed nice to be in a city with trains. They do make getting around so much easier and more predictable.
The view out of my window. The black spots are dirt on the outside of the windows. This view is looking west. The building with the dome is part of the headquarters of the Christian Science Church - their equivalent of the Vatican. Apart from their religious activities, they publish a highly regarded newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor
My initial thoghts were that the dome was the state house (or parliament house). However, it is the actual church building.
