Help! I'm trapped in Filene's Basement!

 
 
 
A big shopping day for me. I went to Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market today. I loved strolling around looking at all the souvenirs shops. The food hall was packed and I was so overwelmed that I couldn't decide what to eat. Faneuil Hall was closed because there was a Naturalization Ceremony for New Americans. There were Boston's Finest everywhere... and SWAT team... and 2 bomb sniffing dogs. Nice huh? Welcome to America - dontcha feel all free now? The security here is crazy. All the parking lots have cops and guards. Most places you have to open your trunk for inspection before parking. When I was on the bus, this eerie electronic message comes on over the PA telling me that I should alert the driver of any suspicious behaviour or packages. Yikes! And furthermore, there is a supermarket across the street from us that has a take-away section and cafe seating outside. Every few feet there is a sign listing the Code of Conduct for sitting in the cafe. Can you believe it?

On a positive note, there were many deals to be had and I spent some US bucks on my boys. I almost did get trapped in Filene's Basement... that place is completely insane. It's like Honest Ed's but with everything from wedding dresses, fur coats, thong panties, and Coach purses. Wait a minute... that sounds like my bridesmaid's outfit for Mr. Buena's wedding.
