Leaving Marion a bit after 1 PM, we slogged through surprisingly heavy traffic as we wrapped around Boston on route to Hamilton, MA. There we saw my goddaughter Annie, her mother Louise and her sister - bride-to-be Emily. The event was Emily's engagement party. It was a most happy occasion.
From Hamilton, we headed to downtown Boston where we checked into The Godfrey Hotel.
We had dinner at Ruka, which billed itself as "Peruvian-Japanese-Chinese food in a sexy dining room that mixes cultural motifs to dramatic effect." A bit loud for our taste, but the food was great.
As people continuously streamed into the restaurant, we perused a menu on which choices appeared in very small print. Serving size being modest, our waitress Linh recommended we each order two choices and share them. We followed her suggestion, ate everything and did not feel overfed.
For dessert we demonstrated admirable restraint, limiting ourselves to one item each, again sharing.
The Cachangas were lightly fried doughnut bits and vanilla ice cream. The Big Fish was described by our waitress as a "Japanese banana split". It came with a pancake-tasting fish to be nibbled on while enjoying a concoction that included, but was not limited to, raspberry sherbet, bananas, chocolate, fried peanuts and whipped cream.
