October 14
It is hard to leave Plymouth and the Boston area. Three million people live in the greater metropolitan area and you feel the numbers. However, the city and suburbs appear clean, the people are respectful, friendly and helpful, and there is definitely a feeling that
Boston is a very special place. It is. Travel, as long as you stay off the highways, is organized and efficient. Some of this aura, however, may be due to the fact that Boston is playing in the ALCS. I wonder if we would have received a different impression if the Redsox had lost to the Angels.
There is so much to see and do. We gave it a gallant effort but six full days barely scratched the surface. Sorry, Carol J., we did not make it to your favorite art museum. We didn’t do Salem as we received reports that it has become very
commercialized, especially close to Halloween. We missed Lowell, considered to be the birth place of the industrial revolution, and didn’t visit Harvard. There were reasons to stay longer, even more to return. Boston is high on my list of the several international cities I have visited. It may be number 1.

It may be number 1.Pictures include Concord's North Bridge where the "first shots" were fired, Boston Harbor with the spire of the Old North Church rising into the sky( the cables that appear to be attached to the spire are actually part of a bridge which is located less then a mile from the church), and the Minuteman statue located just outside Concord.
