Sailing is a New England tradition and the Charles River is always full of sailboats and yachts which are great to photograph from the riverbanks of Boston.

While Andrea and I were strolling through the North End, I noticed this shrine (I think it's on Fulton or Commercial Street toward the east side of the North End) called "All Saints Way". I took a picture and as soon as I did, a man emerged and asked me why I was taking a picture. I thought he was mad at first and I told him that the light was right and the flowers and images of the saints made a nice photo. His name was Peter and welcomed us inside and talked to us about all kinds of saints and the Catholic church. He good-naturedly gave me a hard time when I told him I was Christian but not Catholic. Anyway, Peter was very happy to show us his shrine and didn't ask us for a dime. He's very knowledgeable about just about every saint from anyplace on earth. When I told him I live in Philadelphia, he showed me two pictures of two saints from Philly and told me a little about their lives. If you're in the North End, keep your eyes out for this place.

Boston is one of America's great sports towns (along with New York, Philadelphia, Chicago among others). Locals will talk passionately and knowledgeably about their beloved hockey team the Bruins, their legendary basketball team the Celtics and their championship football team the Patriots. But above all, they will talk your ear off about the city's baseball team, the Red Sox. They waited about a million years for their first World Series championship, which finally came in the fall of 2004.
