Beans about Boston

in a glass by itself
Boston is a world unto itself. A true international city, Boston is also an "Atlantic Rim" city that has as much in common with London and Dublin as it does with Kansas City or Los Angeles. I wouldn't say that it's a "European" city - though it certainly is not built on the kind of street grid familiar in American cities from New York to Washington to Chicago and beyond. But it is a city where an Atlantic perspective is not strange or unusual.

Tulips in the Boston Public Gardens - a cheering sight for a city that knows what winter means.

 Very nice Boston page. This is so far my favorite US city, but I haven't ventured to the West coast yet.

 If you haven't been to Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, make sure you do next time. It is my must see for Boston. I lived just outside of Boston for most of my life.
