Constitution. The more I go to Boston, the more I like it and wonder why I didn't hop that bus more often when we were at Brown. Though of course the many alumns in and around it make it all the more fun to visit now.latebloomingmomhttp://www.latebloomingmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455126179375366490.post-80661869787578780742011-07-31T13:03:14.593-04:002011-07-31T13:03:14.593-04:00I took a few pictures of the Swan Boats when I was...I took a few pictures of the Swan Boats when I was on the Common (where the statue stands, as seen in the first picture of this post). But since I've never been in a Swan Boat, I decided to save the images for another time. A meditation on <i>Lohengrin</i>, maybe?William V.

When I was growing up there was always that "saying" that you will always see someone you know coming out of the Harvard Square station, but then when I lived in Boston as a young adult I knew that Commonwealth Avenue and Harvard street was the true "center of the universe."<br /><br />Our son is moving to Boston in a couple of weeks, but I don't expect him to get in a kayak on the Charles. The swan boats in Boston Common serve as adequate (and challenging) "water sport" for the people in our family.Elaine Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248422399226824168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455126179375366490.post-58148666923183529112011-07-30T17:37:34.276-04:002011-07-30T17:37:34.276-04:00Great photos!
