The aquarium was very crowded and full of little children. I saw penguins and the Giant Ocean Tank which contained a few giant sea turtles and stingrays. A few divers could be seen in the tank. Various other galleries had small tanks showing various types of sea life including; octopus, electric eel, sea horses, a boa constrictor, and piranha. I saw the harbor seal exhibit on the public plaza but the seals were not very active.<\/p>\n

Upon leaving the aquarium I wandered around the financial district until I found the Bamboo Valley Spa, the Irish Famine Memorial, the Old City Hall, King’s Chapel, and finally the Boston Athen\u00e6um which I entered. I had to put my umbrella in a plastic bag to avoid dripping water over the floors. There was not much to see at the Boston Athen\u00e6um except for some statues, some paintings, and a few rare books on display. Next I visited the nearby Granary Burying Ground. It was raining a little harder by then.<\/p>\n

I stopped in at Emmet’s Irish Pub and Restaurant where I ordered a Full Irish Breakfast; Irish Sausage, Irish Bacon, Black & White Pudding, Bachelor Beans, Home Fries, Grilled Tomato, Eggs cooked to order, Toast and a cup of coffee. There were a lot of old Irish photos and documents posted on the wall. It seemed like a very authentic Irish pub.<\/p>\n

It was raining for the rest of the day so I went back to the hotel where my room had not been cleaned.<\/p>\n
I watched the new Fahrenheit 451<\/em> movie on HBO. I have not had cable TV for years so when I travel I cannot resist watching come cable TV in my hotel room. The high definition channels are new for me. It seems like I am always watching HBO’s Westworld<\/em> while on vacation. I saw a few episodes in Los Angeles and I saw a few episodes on this trip. I also saw one episode of the new Silicon Valley<\/em> season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Saturday my goal was to visit the New England Aquarium.
