This month Rhode Island au pairs had the opportunity to join Boston area au pairs for a visit to the Prudential Center Skywalk Observatory. The skywalk is 50 floors above the City of Boston, and provides an astonishing view of the city and surrounding areas — Boston’s Hancock Tower, Fenway Park, the Boston Common and Public Garden, the Esplanade and Hatch Shell, the Charles River, MIT, Harvard University, and countless other Boston landmarks. Au pairs also had the chance to use interactive exhibits which provided them with a real flavor of the city’s distinctive culture and neighborhoods. Multimedia players were provided detailing the city’s historic past and current sites. The Prudential Center also features over 75 shops and restaurants, including Barnes & Noble, The Cheesecake Factory, Lacoste, Legal Sea Foods, Saks Fifth Avenue and Sephora.
