Top of the Hub
Boston is sometimes referred to as the Hub. True to its name, this bar has a splendid night view of the city of Boston.

Kikusui Sake
"You are with the woman of your dreams, at a Japanese yakitori bar. The hot Asian waitress asked what would you like to go with with your stunning kushiyaki selection. Only your date is hotter than the waitress. The sake selection mystifies you. House sake and Sapporo would usually do, but not tonight. She is the woman of your dreams...If Kikusui sake is on the menu, confidently ask the hot waitress for one, like you have a thousand of times before, even if it will be your first time. Tell you date, you think this sake in a can will be a good starter..."

If you are in love, you will need a good pair of these. Can't measure it with a yard stick!

Cape Cod was absolutely beautiful. The buildings and landscapes were nothing short of spectacular.

Marston House
The historical house and grounds were special by virtue of being accessible to the public and their location.

Garden
An impromptu walk took me to the Marston House Museum and Garden at the north-west corner of Balboa Park one late afternoon.

Mason Jar Herb Garden - Update 3
Re-purposing kimchi jars for more decorative purposes, herb containers.
This project will take a while, at least a month. Check back weekly or so to see their progress.
Step 1: I filled the jars with small stones to help water drainage.
Step 2: I filled the jars with fast draining potting soil to the top curves of the jars.
Step 3: I chose basil, cilantro and mint as the herbs to plant from seeds. Apparently, planting mint from seeds is not recommended, but we will see. I seeded the jars per planting instruction of each type of seed and moistened the soil, with water, just enough to have three dark spots.
Step 4: Lastly, I labeled my jars.
Update 1: It has been barely 4 days, but the basil is sprouting.
Update 2: I was worrying about the mints for nothing. These are peppermints. It has been a week and they sprouted.
Update 3: The cilantro have also sprouted. I will make another update when the herbs grow bushy. Cheers!
