Entre Les Murs

Boston Weekend

This weekend we spent in Boston, just to see it.  A step closer to the Toronto we miss, it's walkable, with leafy neighbourhoods of brick houses, pleasant parks and fine restaurants.

We took the subway to Harvard and poked around the halls of learning.  The Fogg Museum turned out to be closed, but the Sackler Museum next door claimed to have all their best pieces.  An impressive collection it was, from Pollack, Picasso, Monet, Canaletto, Rembrandt, Durer, and all the way back to ancient Greek and Roman works, and Eastern cultures too.  Fertile ground for my dogs in art collection.


On Sunday we did some recreational open-housing, masochistically satisfying ourselves that we could live much more comfortably in Boston than we can in New York.
