Bob and I (continuing our USA travels this summer) visited good friends Barry and Elizabeth (New Yorkers who escape to Maine in the summer). Then a short visit to see Bob’s brother Chuck and his wife Ursula (only Bob calls him Chuck anymore) in Boston.

On to Boston

Period costumes at the Paul Revere House in Boston's north end.... history and little Italy!! Great pizza and flashy Italians on cell phones.

At Thoreau's cabin (replica) in Concord. (Strange sun spot on my body....)

inside the replica of Thoreau's cabin. Also saw the Louisa May Alcott house, preserved as it was.

Glad you got to enjoy the blueberry pie!
