The trip to Boston was Great, actually better than I thought. I saw all the history stuff (most of which has been turned into commercial enterprises like Starbucks) Harvard, Salem, Fenway Park, Boston Garden, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and enjoyed some live music called Barn Star at a restaurant called BeeHive.
Food in Boston is great, with lots of local sea food, but also a lot of international flare.
When we got home, I read a little book called "The Uncommon Reader" by Alan Bennett. It is a little book about how reading and then writing can change our lives and how we view others.
