Boston was our last stop before turning left and heading back towards the West Coast.  We couldn't have had a better time, thanks in part to our great hosts pictured below.  True to form, our first stops were art museums (Museum of Fine Art and the Isabella Stuart Gardiner Museum - the new wing is fantastic) but we got out long enough to walk the Freedom Trail, visit Walden Pond, the Louisa Mae Alcott Museum, Trinity Church, walk through ritzy Beacon Hill, etc.  BJ visited with friends from her college days.

The Massachusetts State House designed by Charles Bullfinch.

Old State House, the center of Boston's civic life in the 18th century.

Walden Pond today.  What would Thoreau think?
