Culture Vulture Presentations

(and snacks)

I do Culture Vultures too

So, it was baby shower time at Casa Doreian. This meant finding an activity for my dad and father in law. Since they were both sailors in their younger years, we visited the Volvo Ocean race area down on Fan Pier (it's right behind the ICA). They loved the films and "ocean simulation," you actually feel the wind and waves crashing. For you, there's a PUMA crate store with all the sweat shoes one could ever want. We tried to see the race from Nahant, but fog obscured the view for most of the race. But, it was a nice afternoon with the family. Pro tip: save $ by bringing food and eating on the outdoor seats at the ICA.
