It’s back to work for Greg and Rachel and our first day to do our own thing in Boston. Caught the T at Shawmut, changed at Park, and disembarked at Coolidge Corner. Walked to 83 Beals Street only to discover that the JFK Birthplace National Monument is closed on Tuesdays. Time for a change of plans. Lunch at Zaftig’s (Great Potato Pancakes!)
Flowers from a local shop, a Harry James 78 from a trash pile, ice cream from Sugar Heaven, then the train home from Copley Square.
A lovely way to spend a Sunday in Hampstead. We visited the historic Fenton House to view lots of lovely collectibles, to listen to and learn about harpsicords, and to tour and linger in the garden before heading off to the historic Spaniard’s Inn for a most delectable Sunday Roast.
A visit to the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden gave us insight into the evolution and role of public transportation in the creation of London as a great metropolitan area.
Bath, England is an amazingly inviting place with deep deep history. One little day trip isn’t anywhere near enough but we did enjoy delving into the history of the Roman Baths, basking in the beauty of Bath Abbey, and topping our visit off with Tea and Bath Buns!
