There are three, non-food related attractions, that appeal to me. First, the Boston Public Garden  , because of its tranquil and spiritual appearance. Trees in a public park or garden always give the place a spiritual feeling. Trees encourage a person to set down, meditate, pray, observe the animals and plants, or watch the people strolling around.

Second, the Boston Whale Watching Cruise  , because the only time I have ever seen a living whale was in San Diego where I saw Killer Whale at one of the zoological parks. Seeing a humpbacked whale or harbor porpoise in their natural habitat has to be an awe inspiring experience.

Third, the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum  , because this event in American history has always fascinated me. It is obvious that Boston is a city one should spend, at least, a month in to see the numerous attractions.

As for the food related attractions, I'm up for any type of food. The pizza tour sounds intriguing; however, since we're in Boston, I'd like to try some Boston Baked Beans. It isn't that I can't make Boston Baked Beans at home, in this case I want to try the food in the city of its nativity.

If I were going to visit Boston on my own in 2019, I would like to return in late October when the Bicentenary of the Birth of the Bab will be celebrated. In 2017, I celebrated the Bicentenary of the Birth of Baha'u'llah with the Baha'is of Las Vegas. A Bicentenary celebration in any Baha'i community has to be awe inspiring and spiritual.
