Last post

I left Boston on 7 August.  I think the following two items sum up Boston well.


The courtyard in the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum, built with the wealth and determination of a Boston lady.



A Boston Honk! Band taking over from the classical orchestra at the free concert at the Hatch Shell by the Charles river in Boston.

Quoddy Head

Quoddy Head is the eastern most point of the U.S..



From here you can look out to Grand Manan, which is in Canada.


The cliffs here are dramatic.









There is an arctic bog on Quoddy Head, which is home to many strange and beautiful plants.
