A lot of pressure and a small hole makes a big mess.

The day started normally. At lunch I headed back to the hotel and met up with Jeb, Brad, and Todd. We were watching the old 90's football movie "Necessary Roughness" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102517/) when the hotel fire alarm went off. Having made many trips down stairs because some idiot pulled the alarm as a prank, we ignored it.
Then we heard the fire trucks pull up and Todd phoned down to see what was up. They told us the hotel was on fire and to evacuate immediately. I grabbed my notebook computer and camera and Jeb grabbed his camera. Here are some of the pictures from the fire.
After the fire was done, we wandered across the street to the "Mother Church" and the headquarters and First Church of Christian Scientist. The Mother Church is located on the 14-acre Christian Science Plaza in Boston's Back Bay, and is the international headquarters for the denomination. One of the largest churches in New England, The Mother Church consists of the Romanesque Original Church Edifice (1894) with the bell tower and stained glass windows, facing the reflecting pool, and the larger Church Extension (1906), of Renaissance and Byzantine architecture, which faces Massachusetts Avenue.
It also has a rather cool reflection pool that attracted people from all across the city and a lot of senior bus tours. We spent some time taking some pictures there and they are posted here too.
