Glimpses of Boston

(The old building nestled between the tall, modern buildings is the Old State House. It was the site of the Boston Massacre during which five men lost their lives in the battle for independence.  A round circle on the sidewalk in front of the balcony shows where the men were killed.  Also, in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed from the balcony! The Old State House is part of the city's rich historical background.)


A day trip to Boston is like taking a long vacation, all rolled into a few hours.

There's so much to see and do, as in any big city.

Just like one of those Beverly Hillbillies from television, I love looking up at all the tall buildings.

 One sees amazing things in Boston.  Take, for example, this very unique equestrian  lamp, spotted in a Marriott Hotel!

We had a delightful (albeit crowded) stroll inside Quincy Market.

Close by was this merry-go-round. These never fail to rev up the child in me.

The food offerings in the market made one's head spin. Just take a look at these yummies!

Loved looking at all the merchandise available, too. Oh, it'd be wonderful to have a big fat pocket filled with money!

This artist had darling drawings for sale. I bought one as a gift and hope it will be treasured.

 Loved seeing green in the parks in Boston, too.

 Well, loved just about everything on our day trip.
