I don't usually go for tours, especially guided tours. For someone visiting there, I recommend the tours, but, I grew up with Boston being less than two hours away and I had relatives living there, so it was a place that I would go to.

Most of what they tell you on the tours, I already know or have heard in twenty different ways. Generally, people that go on vacation have extra money built-in for these types of things. (I am not on vacation, so it doesn't count) The place is empty because I went when it was just closing so I could get pictures. They let me stay a few minutes later to snap a few. It is usually pretty full. That is why they have ropes. During Covid, much of this was closed and people are still not out like they used to be and people are not VACATIONING in cities. :)

That is awesome that you spent it on a nice lunch! Good for you. And Thai food is delicious! I love the spicy! Thanks for being a part of the challenge!

#MarketFriday loves you!
