Boston: A Photo Essay

To be perfectly frank, the first thing I look at when vising another's blog is photos followed by poetry or interesting formatting and then (if time allows) the body of the entry. So, if you read as I do, then you will probably enjoy this laconic chronicle of a weekend in coastal New England.

that morning we went to the coast to take pictures

The last time I visited this particular beach was twenty years ago when my parents and I vacationed there to see the famous Nubble Light. I'm vicariously reliving my life through this photo.

Boston from within

Old Iron Sides, the oldest operating Naval vessel and she never lost a battle either!

I saw this in the gift shop and couldn't resist. The collage illustrations are very fun.

this is the Roman Art section (the most ironic thing to me was that they were actively restoring a mosaic in a climate controlled fish tank while I had walked all over similar ones in Turkey in open weather!)

these reminded me of Gwen's dad

Yeah, he built the Pyramids

On our way out we drove through New Rochelle to take 9A to Broadway. We drove past all the great sites including Juliard & Lincoln Center, Columbus Circle at the corner of Central Park, Madison Square Garden, Times Square, and the big bronze bull in the financial district. We stopped at the corner of west Bank street and seventh for some chocolate gelato and a walk through the neighborhood. It was great. The city never seems to lack enough light to feel like day all the time. I wonder if that's what the new Jerusalem will feel like when we won't need the sun. Then we hopped back in the car and took West Street past Ground Zero to the Holland Tunnel. The rest is blurry street lights and bleary gas stations.

Okay. Didn't even know you were going anywhere! Didn't see you on Sunday at the hospital--I cried. Then I saw your car at the University behind the GA girls dorm, and I cried again imagining that you abandoned us to go to Bob Jones Church. Oh the betrayal! But now to find that you actually went to Massachusetts! I don't know what hurts worse! I'm not being dramatic.

Just catching up on the blogosphere and I come across this evidence of our JUST-MISSED-YOU moment. Fresh pangs. Sadness. But gladness that you had a good time and tread our colonial soil for a while.
