East Coast Living In the Rockies: Day 25

First of all, today was the 9 year anniversary of the largest terrorist attack on our beautiful country. Many people lost their lives today because of some extremists.

I'm going to go out on a branch right here and make a little bit of a political statement: I wish that people would love each other and respect everyone. If people would accept others' differences, thousands of people would not have lost their lives on that day and many of our brave service men and women would be able to be home. God bless America and all of our world.

Back to what this blog is really about.

Today was a great day. I woke up and went venturing into the city. What a great day I had! Today's post calls for more than just one picture and a few videos. So enjoy.

First I went to Macy's. No pictures. But it was a mad house. Everyone had $10 off coupons that ended at 1:00 and of course I got there right before noon. Insane. But I got a really nice Columbia down and water-resistant coat for only $87. As my mom and her best friend always say, "there are 11 commandments, with the 11th being 'Thall shall not pay retail price.'" Amen to that.

After Macy's I just went walking. Downtown was buzzing with people enjoying the crisp fall day. There were few clouds in the sky and oh how wonderful the weather was!

Look at that sky. It was perfect football weather. Too bad I had no football game to attend.

In an attempt to find a Wells Fargo ATM, I heard faint music. I followed it and ended up at City Hall in Government Center.

Playing was a band from Honduras. They were great! People were congregating from all over to hear and watch. There was also awesome and sometimes comical dancing.

I then continued to search for this darn ATM. While searching, I stumbled upon a huge outdoor market near the North End.

I bought 2 Fuji apples for $1 and 2 containers of strawberries for $1.50! Unheard of. This market was at least 2 blocks long.

I kept going and came upon Fanueil Hall. People were once again congregated, but this time is was around 4 guys putting on a show. Here's a video of some of it plus the cutest little kid that is going to be the next best break dancer:

At the very end of the performance, the ring-leader ~~jumped~~ flipped over people from the audience.
