Boston -- Batch #1

I'm just back from a lovely 4-day vacation in Boston with my brother George. Took 102 pictures. Some of the better ones I'll post over the next days and weeks. Wonderful city!
 The Boston Public Library is magnificent.

 These murals of the Muses are by Puvis de Chavannes. Others are by John Singer Sargent.There was just too much art to absorb at one time. Fortunately, there are sites like this one to refresh one's memory.

 The interior courtyard

 where you can lunch with your laptop in a cloister

 All over Boston are public bicycles for rent

 Looks like George is going to try one out!

 Paul Revere's house in the North End.
We tourists shuffled through bumber to bumper.
Thank goodness it was air conditioned.

Trinity Church as reflected in the John Hancock Tower in Copley Square. A remarkable juxtaposition of the old and the new.


To be continued ...
