Josh and I tried the oysters (you hardly notice them with the horseradish and cocktail sauce) in the Oyster House, the oldest restaurant in the continental US. My mom wasn't as daring, but she did get the Boston Baked Beans. The story behind those? People couldn't work on the Sabbath, but they could put beans in a pot the day before and slow-cook them to eat after church Sundays.
We got a deck of cards and had dinner in with wine and Hearts.
It was sunny most of the weekend and the leaves were gorgeous. There were far fewer of them that even just the week before, but we found some beauties.
These were taken in the Victory Gardens; each plot is tended by a different person.
Duck butts are always funny.
I hope my mom's first-graders appreciate all of the leaves she picked for them...
We did more than take pictures of leaves...I swear. The photo below was taken in Salem.
Below, Boston Common. Until urban cattle owning went out of style, the Common had cows and public hearings.
Josh at Harvard University.
Here's a non-leaf photo; see I told you. This was at Harvard University, over in Cambridge. We went there to see the Museum of Natural History. They have glass flowers that look perfectly real. The museum was great, but of course not as cool as the San Diego Natural History Museum.
Overall a great trip. It was great to see my mom and Josh, and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of my family next month.
