Boston in a Nutshell

A slice 'o my life

I've lived in Boston for over 20 years after growing up in New York, spending a few years in Spain and then Pennsylvannia. Hard to believe! When I first got here I missed my friends in PA a lot and had to adjust. Now, after years of highs and lows I'm like any other native who has a love/hate relationship with the place they live.

All in all, Boston's a great place to live and work. There's plenty to do with the feeling that you're not in a massive or extremely over-crowded city. Sure, the weather can make you crazy at times but it's great to live in a city full of liberal, intelligent and free-thinking individuals - with wicked pissah funny accents....

But you've got to love the hidden gems

This is one of my favorite spots in Boston. It's the courtyard of the Boston Public Librarry. I love taking folks there to see the artwork, architecture and the beautiful courtyard, which this is a picture of.

Visting Boston? Take a walk around this place. It's beautiful and.....it's free!
Ah....the calm and the beauty

 Ah, I thought she looked like Juma -- she has that sweet Rhodesian Ridgeback face. I'm glad she's better.

 Please, lease the concrete building to the Soviets - they at least do (or rather "did", between 1960-1990) it right.

 Take a few moments to look at the building a bit more carefully both inside and out. You will see more more there than your simple overview. BTW it looks lop sided because of the camera lens quality and angle that u snapped the photo. :)
