It is a very interesting place and is filled with music, chess players and so many other historical events. Thank you! I always enjoy this place.

Thank you always or the vote and resteem! I am very humbled by being selected! Much appreciation!

Well, they probably need to take a hint from what Old San Juan, Puerto Rico did. They used the cobblestones, but, they RESET them so people could walk on them more comfortably. In saying this, I might add that it actually doesn't bother me, I have walked on them that way most of my life and don't even think about it, but, I know a lot of people find it hard on their feet.

The ivy is always gorgeously dramatic, but, she is like a femme fatale. She looks good, but, isn't good for you. She does a lot of damage all the time. But, I agree, she makes the pictures so much prettier. Boston is one of those places where even a bad shot is okay. It is one of those places you must take the kids and go. To me, it is better suited for history and it is all captured in a walkable distance from each other. I would live up there, but, the winters are worse than Michigans.

Truth. They are always with the misery weather and they are not even far from where I grew up! (although being on the water always makes it more forgiving)

Thanks for the upvote!! It is always and forever appreciated.

True!! The ones that really are slippery are the ones in Bar Harbor, Maine! Holy moly! I don't mind cobblestones so much as I am used to them, but, if you aren't, they can really hurt your feet after a while!

Only one lobster! LOL I have been on a lobster diet for weeks now. Always when I go near home. LOL Oh, you should at least visit there! It is a fun place and so full of history and culture! Thanks for stopping by and for leaving such kind comments behind!

Have a great night!

Hehe! That is what many say, but we actually have many cities like this. :)

Well, I go there frequently and thought perhaps that you needed to keep you interested in going. I didn't even give you a piece of it and I just know that you will love it. It will take the sting off being away from NYC. As much as I was ready to leave NYC, I missed it for the longest time, because, I didn't really realize what I had as I had it my entire life.

I think you will be much the same. Er... maybe. You are ready to leave, I wasn't. :)

I can hardly wait to see your take on this wonderful city! Oh, no! We cannot tip on here, can we?

Oh my! Things have changed a lot since 1979 in Boston. Pretty sad when the marriage doesn't last as long as season tickets do, isn't it? I guess that is the way of the world. Just not my way. But, it is pretty exciting to be able to view those Red Sox from a box seat!

You should make another city tour again and just like Washington DC, I don't think Boston is as busy as people believe. I just never go when I know there's going to be a bunch of tourists, just like when the marathon is in town. I have always been able to move about freely, even when I am going into some of the historical places. I don't know tell me you might want to give it a try off season of course.

Then again, some things are better in my memory and that's where they should stay. LOL thank you for stopping by and saying hello and leaving you're always kind words behind.

I did not know that you had been to Boston! You are always a surprise to me with all your traveling. I do love Boston and MIT and Cambridge. I guess it just doesn't get better than that. Boston University is kind of cool also and the Boston Common and Quincy Market and just the entire historical scene there. Having grown up on clam chowder and New England with its beautiful autumns oh, I took most of that for granted and only now, as I am revisiting do I really take notice of things. I miss living in New England but I do not miss the harsh Winters involved in being part of it. If we could take those harsh Winters away oh, I think I would want to move back. Of course, I say that but work is here in the Washington DC area. So, it isn't even a factor. I hope all is well with you and yours and that you are having a most delightful day. Thank you for stopping in and saying hello and leaving your kind words.

What? Seriously. I thought everybody thought of Boston when they think of travel? Who knew? The cobblestone streets and the architecture are to die for. Because our nation is so young, things aren't as old as in most places but they are historic nonetheless. First public schoolhouse, first this and first that. New England has so much history steeped into that tiny little corner of the United States. I guess I always took it for granted because I'm from there and didn't realize until I started traveling that the rest of the United States is not like that. I encourage you to visit if you ever get a chance. As a bonus, it's very walkable or the public transportation is most excellent. I guess it helps to be a University town and need to be able to get about. Well, let's just say it doesn't hurt.

There are so many people that we leave Ivy growing because it's so beautiful and I agree that she is. But, she has caused more damage to historical buildings than the passage of time could ever.

Oh yes! You and me babe! There was never any question! :)

Thank you so much, Ross! I love Boston! It is so rich in history and culture! Yes, armchair travel! An awesome way to see the world!
