Boston's Newest Bridge

After nearly five years in the Boston area, we are finally starting to feel like locals (even though many of our friends and neighbors have been in the area for decades)!

Our exploration started out with the big tourist attractions - Quincy Market, Filene's Basement, the Aquarium, and the Science Museum. But, the longer we are in the area, the more opportunity we have to continue our wanderings and get more and more off the beaten track. We have discovered that there is an endless variety of things to see between the many different neighborhoods, the myriad places to dine, and the rich history of the area.

Outsiders might have a poor impression of the city - it has a reputation for bad traffic, a high cost of living, constant construction, and bitter winters. However, we find it to be one of the most fascinating American cities and wouldn't want to live anywhere else!
