Chilly tea party

Last week we went up to Boston for a few days. Missy is on the management team of a new church plant called Reunion Christian Church, and it has been very successful in downtown Boston. While she was in meetings, I hit the streets from our downtown hotel to check out the city and try to limit the times I got lost. I have flown into Boston a few times before, but that was just to be able to rent a car and head up to wonderful places like Martha's Vineyard, Acadia National Park, etc. So it was a real different experience actually being downtown. There are old structures (beautifully restored) right next to contemporary, tall and glass buildings. The contrast is apparent and interesting. Not only did we eat our way through Boston (quote by Missy) but we took in a "Dirty Dancing" show at the Opera House one night and got to see the "Blue Man Group" the next. People were very nice and cordial. There was a Dunkin' Doughnuts on almost every corner! Mike's Pastries on the north end is an experience all to itself. You need to go up and walk the Freedom Trail and don't miss the cemeteries scattered throughout the city with graves from the late 1600's. The photo was from our hotel window at sunset. As always, it is good to be home though, even if it is shared with three cats. One is old, but the other two are very, very young. Anybody know what I mean?
