Eureka

Yesterday, 17th July, Runi drove us to Russo's market---- near BJ's.  Let me refresh my memory about BJ's---- this is a wholesale club where one can find 1001 things, so to say, under one roof; but, one has to buy wholesale.  However, one can have membership & enjoy concessions for purchases.
Near this BJ's, there is a market (Russo's) which has a variety of  plants ............... flower plants of all types, Tomato plants, Misti Kumro plants (creepers??) , green vegetables of different countries inclusive of Indian varieties  ( we were surprised to find banana flower i.e mocha even in good condn.), saags viz. Kumro saag, Palak (Palang) saag, mulo saag & many ors. Strangely, I found Chinese bitter (Karela chinese type), besides our Indian type bitter i.e Karela.  This was our Eureka moment really,   because, 99% of  the items were our own variety  &  for all such things,  we were exploring so many market places. A lot of vegetables were purchased therefore & everybody appeared to be more than happy.
Runi said that she came here for the first time, though she  knew about the mkt.
Next, we went to BJ's and bought things.
Sorry---- I forgot to mention here that in Russo's, I was highly impressed by a well-spread-out salad bar which had a lot of salads. Next time  (In case we arrive here)  I would taste salads definitely.
On 18th  (In the afternoon),  Runi took us to Kenmore by a bus, from Washington st., & Corey Rd. intersection. The bus ride here was new for us.
From Kenmore, we  i.e Runi, myself, Dada & Boudi  (Yash was in his lab) ----- all walked along Deerfield St., by the side of Ramakrishna Mission upto Charles River & sat there in a bench for about 25 min.
As usual, many snaps were taken. Opp. to us, on the other side of the river, Hayat (Hotel chain) was there with its massive & eye-catching structure,  two  capsule lifts going up & down like butterflies and the name of the hotel  (Hayat) showing more or less clearly, even from the considerable distance & inspite of the fact that lights were not on, though it was late hrs. of the evening  evident by the sun which was declining.. A bridge over the river was clearly visible--------people practising health exercises, joggers and a few boats sailing on the river added to the charm of the place. Dada & Runi took many photographs.
Next, we walked back towards kenmore Bus station and availed ourselves of a bus which took us to the same point of  intersection wherefrom our house would be just  2 or 3 min's walk.
