Boston, Boston, Boston

These cards were purchased at Fanueil Hall after our Freedom Trail walking tour with Kim a friend of Stephanie and Ted's. He was playing the part of a Ship Captain that was the second Captain of the USS Constitution. After shopping we went to the Scooper Bowl and Ice Cream tasting with the proceeds going to the Jimmy Fund, a cancer research organization. There were 30 ice creams to taste and we found out later it was 5600 calories if you tasted all of them, we each had about 8 tastes and a few shared ones. Ice cream was lunch and we had a light dinner!

I had a request for a recipe card through a direct exchange from Postcrossings. This was the first time I had seen a recipe Postcard and it was a great time to find one. The postcard went to Italy on June 15 along with a map of Massaachusetts I found at the airport.

This card is waiting for a postcrossing request.

I also purchased another Fenway postcard for Jim. I was afraid the other wouldn't make it because it might of been oversized. The first one made it so this one will be for a postcrossing request now.

Boston Trolley Tour all around Boston and a tour of Fenway. I'm not actually sure where I bought these postcards, but I assume it was this day sometime!






The Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge. Springtime Magnolias on Marlborough St. in Back Bay




Trinity Churchand John Hancock Tower Faneuil Hall Market

These postcards will be used for Postcrossing probably.

Havard Square News stand

I arrived in Boston at about 6:30 picked up my bags and headed out on the T to Harvard Square. I goofed up once and got off at Government Center which desserted because it was Saturday. Note to self the T Silver Line is a bus. I got to Harvard Square and Stephanie was finishing up her wedding gig and we met for dinner at a favorite place of hers which has Peanut Butter banana smoothies.


My Grandfather Peckham went to Harvard for a year. He left for unknown reasons to me, and went back to Stanford.


My friend Ruth loves the Swan Boats they are a reminder of family when she was growing up Boston.

This is a statue based on a book I'll be looking for during my trip.



This postcard was for Jim, sent quickly back to California before I got back.
