Boston

On our flight to Iceland we had a long stay over at the airport in Boston for our Delta connection to Reykjavík. Kate had the very good idea that we should take a quick ferry across the harbor to down town Boston and explore a bit — which we did. We had never been to Boston before and haven't been since, but it looks like an interesting historic city.

I like the idea that you could easily skip across to the city on a ferry rather than be stuck in the airport waiting for hours. Since 9/11 I suppose that's no longer possible.

This note composed, and these photos scanned, in April 2021 during the COVID pandemic. In uncertain times we cherish the past.

Washington D.C.

Kate had a meeting in Washington D.C. We made a bit of a trip of it and drove there with our friend Cindy.

Along the way we stopped in to see Punxsutawney Phil (oddly Jimmy Stewart is from the same town), Franklin Lloyd Wright's Falling Water and Jefferson's Monticello.

In Washington Cindy and I tramped around the mall taking in sites like the Vietnam War memorials, the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, the Holocaust Museum, some of the National Galleries, the Capitol itself and the old post office. We also visited the Washington Cathedral (which is far from the mall).

This note and the album need a lot more work ....
