A Shot in the Rain: Boston

A Rainy Day in…Boston, Massachusetts
The torrential rains waited until my flight touched the ground. I had hoped to have a few days of sunshine before finding the perfect Rainy Day photo of Boston but it was not to be. With an average of 10 days of precipitation each month, I knew I’d run into a few. It waited until I checked into the Omni Parker House Hotel – the oldest in the country – then the downpour began. I could have holed up with the ghosts, gorging myself on Parker House rolls and Boston Cream Pie, then working it off in the in-house fitness center for the next three days until the deluge abated. Instead, I donned my rain jacket, pulled out my handy camera cover and set out to explore some of Boston’s best inclement-weather options for daytime and nighttime entertainment. Boston-based writer, Nancy Kalajian got out her professional-strength Boston umbrella to add her own rainy day recommendations.

year, all travel guides warn to be prepared for inclement weather.

No fear, Santa Fe offers an extensive array of world-class museums, galleries, spas and other ways to stay cool and dry in the summer or warm and dry in the winter.
