June 22nd 2026: Legal Seafoods at Logan Airport, Boston

 While waiting for our flight today, we decided to get a bite from the Legal Seafoods at Gate E13 of the Logan Airport in Boston,

getting the Salmon (Helgeland Coast, Norway)
and the Boston Cream Pie (Sponge Cake, custard, Chocolate Sauce, Almonds, Toffee Bits).

Not too bad to start the business trip.

June 21st 2026: Hiking in Boylston and Dessert in Worcester

 Today, we started out with a hike at the Rocky Pond Community Forest in Boylston, where the path we took to get to Rocky Pond from the Green Street parking lot is shown below in pink.



Really long walk to get to the nice view of the pond, 




and it might have been better to come form the end of Boulder Way instead, granted there doesn't seem to be parking there.

As a result of the terrible hike to the pond, we decided to find the shortest way out of the woods, which led us to Boulder Way, and a long walk back to the car along the road. Even better views of the pond along the walk back.



Definitely not coming back.

Later on, while in Worcester, we decided to check out the new rolled ice cream place in town, Hao Ngot, which has taken the place of Tastea Rolls. Nicer decor than before.


We got the Campfire (Base: Vanilla, Mix In: Cracker, Topping: Toasted Marshmallow, Chocolate Chips, Cracker, Drizzle: Chocolate),
which was a good way to end a day of terrible hiking in Boylston.

June 20th 2026: Hiking in Southborough and Westborough

 Today, we started out with a hike at Chestnut Hill Farm in Southborough, where the path we took to get to the viewpoint is shown below in pink.








Pretty nice views of the farm area.







Next, we headed to Bigelow Wildlife Refuge nearby, where the path we took from 42 Bigelow Road is shown below in pink. 

Short walk to the viewing platform here, and decent views of the wetlands here.



Our final hike for the day was at Indian Pond in Westborough, where the path we took to get to the pond is shown below in pink.
Really overgrown here though, and no real views of the pond either. 




Disappointing end to an otherwise good day of hiking in Southborough and Westborough, although the Hazelnut S'mores smoothie we got from Fresh Monkee in Westborough did make it better a little.

June 19th 2026: Jinjee, Boston

 Today, while in Boston,

YMCA of Greater Boston

we started out with breakfast at the Northeastern University



location of Pavement Coffeehouse, 


getting the Blueberry Muffin, Brownie,
Watermelon Limeade,

and the Turkey Avo (sliced turkey, swiss, avocado, lettuce, red onion, garlic aioli) on Rosemary Salt bagel with Swiss Cheese.

 Nothing special in my opinion.


Later for lunch, we decided to check out the new high end Korean BBQ place in town at 161 Brighton Avenue in Allston, Jinjee. Really nice inside to begin with.




We got the Wagyu Jeon (egg battered wagyu slices, pan-seared until golden),
the Mul Makguksu (chilled buckwheat noodles in refreshing beef broth),

the Bibim Makguksu (spicy gochujang-dressed buckwheat noodles),



the Bansang (American Heritage Duroc (Prok Jowl, Mainated Pork shoulder, pork belly, Pork shoulder),


which came with side dishes
and dessert,

along with an attentive waiter to boot who cooked our meat to perfection for us.
Best Korean BBQ experience ever, even better than Hyun in NYC, which we checked out three years ago. Expensive of course, and the little one didn't take to the cold noodles much.
