We had a lovely flight in, and the trip to our hotel was painless. In fact, it was amazing. The transit here is very impressive. 
The bus was a true hybrid. When we boarded it at the airport, we drove for a while. Arrived a stop and the bus driver turned off the engine, left the bus, a few seconds later she re-boarded and turned it on, but now it had a different sound. What I think happened is she connected the bus to the overhead electrical feed. 
The rest of the trip was underground connecting us to the subway, which took us to a five minute walk to our hotel. It’s nothing to write home about… and yes I recognize the fact that I am, in fact…. writing home about it.
Had a wonderful evening just strolling around. We hit up a beautiful bookshoppe. Wandered around Harvard Campus.
Later we went out for a few pints and some yummy soup.
After which we went out for most amazing cupcakes.
