And...Fall? See below...

Lori & I raced across a very narrow 2 lane (no pedestrian) bridge to stand on the banks of this river and try to capture the gorgeous colours...
Isn't this incredible?
Now if only the next season was spring...*sigh*

Makes you want hot cocoa, a good book, cozy blanket, pjs & pumpkin pie!
Bright leaves...clear waters...
Charming old bridge...
A photo just doesn't capture what you could actually see as you stood here!
Wish you all could have seen what we saw...
But then I wish I could have made to to Cheryl's wedding too...

As you wander the streets of Boston...

This is very typical of the streets near Boston Common & the Public Garden.
This is also the area where you can drive by Senator John Kerry's townhome doorstep, or catch a glimpse of the Swan Boats as told in the popular children's book - "Make Way for Ducklings"...
The new green space in downtown Boston - near Long Wharf.
Our view of the Boston Harbour as we sat in the warm autumn sunshine, sipping Starbucks.
Many, many old cemeteries...
And everywhere, the stars & stripes...

Buildings of Boston...

I adore old buildings - particularily any with character, detail & fire stairs...
Quincy Market - downtown Boston
Inside Quincy Market

Isn't this grand - I could live here...
Check this out...and it was even green!
Boston is such a beautiful, old, well-preserved, historical city!

Vacation - Day 1

Welcome to Boston!
And we're off on our vacation thru the tunnel under the ocean from the airport to downtown.

Fish Market Docks

aka - very stinky! Beautiful Charlestown...w/ it's very narrow streets & spendy condos.
On the wharf waiting to catch the ferry across the harbour from Charlestown to Long Wharf.

My next condo? USA Supreme Court Bldg
Boats & Boston
A sunset reflection
Little Italy
Again, very narrow streets I loved the double lines of laundry hanging across the side alley.
The delicious spot we found for supper - L'Osteria
Kari, Karen & Rick
Another fine smelling restaurant in Little Italy
Mamma Maria

(please try saying that w/ a dramatic Italian accent...it's more fun!)
