| The nondescript exterior of the Isabella Stewart Gardner
Museum. Given that Gardner had a strong hand in the building's
design, I'd thought it'd be more interesting.

| In the Egyptian section, these bricks and hieroglyphics reminded me of
something I saw in the Met.
| Antonio Lopez Garcia's unusual oil painting Sink and Mirror.
| I grabbed a snack of butternut squash soup at the cafe in the museum. It
was nice and light, exactly what I was in the mood for. It smelled of
something: pumpkin pie spice? nutmeg? ginger? cinnamon?
| Soon after my snack, I met up with Di Yin and we had some terrific
desserts from Finale: chocolate decadence
cake, tiramisu, and boston cream pie.

guardians.

| Brown Sugar Cafe, the Thai
restaurant where I ate dinner.
| I liked Brown Sugar's wall decorations.
| "Racha Seafood: Saute of shrimp, squid, sea scallops, mussels and chunk of
salmon in Thai spices chili sauce called 'Sri Racha' with onions, peppers,
baby corns, broccoli and scallions. Served in a crispy rice crust and
garnished."
Good. With a spicy sweet chile sauce. All the vegetables were still
crispy. Other than the rubbery squid, the seafood was good. The bread
was like a tortilla bread, though twice as thick. I generally ignored
it because it had little taste and because rice seemed to go better with
the dish.
