Since I am certainly no expert on the city of Boston having only been there this one time, I am not going to try and fill your head with history lessons that we all learned back in the grade 3.
I do however have a digital ton of photos and have decided to share a select few with you.

I hope you enjoyed these.
I'll be back soon with a wrap up and then on to something to get your heart racing.
Business has been very good since our return which is making this whole process a little more difficult to accomplish. In the off chance that I get to sit down for a few minutes, I find that my eyes come to a gentle close and my head sways to one side or the other.

Fantastic reminders of some of the things we saw five years ago. I love Boston (K's more a NY kind of guy) and I have very fond memories of it. I hope you have some wonderful ones too!
We stayed with the historic part of Boston thus didn't get the full experience. I liked everything I saw but even so, I'd have to say that I'm with K on his love for New York. Can a person love more than one city?
Boston is my favourite city (next to Halifax of course!). I haven't been to too many but I am sure it will stay at the top. Stew, this is a great account of this city....so many familiar places I see. Cheers!!
Along with New Orleans, I find it the least American city in your country - does that make sense? I don't mean it positively or negatively, just as a statement of fact. I enjoyed my few business visits there. Lovely photos but I have to give special credit to the aliums in the gardens - gorgeous!
I must admit, everyone we met was very friendly.
That's a refreshing change from our native Detroit area.
I like that one too. I loved the relationship of row if alums with the row of trees and then buildings in the distance.
Yes, your comment makes perfect sense. I do love New Orleans.
I would love to visit Boston someday. It has an English feel to it and I love England.
It does seem like a different world than the rest of the US. Complete with their own dialect.
Thanks for this Stew...now we know what we were looking at all those times we visited!!
Have a great week!
Ron
I'm sure you know more about the city than I do. And I know Canadian schools are better than where I went for my primary lessons
Thank you for that
Chris went to Boston last year
He loved it
I have never been
