Months old, but such a great trip that I still want to post...
At the end of July my mom came to stay at the Conway Castle (Castillo). After a week's visit in Bowling Green--mostly walking in the nature preserve and reading in cafés as far flung as Ann Arbor-- my mom headed back to D.C., with me in tow. We spent a long evening dining in Du Point Circle and then, back at her condo, reading some more.
I have a very kind mother who agreed to drive me to Union Station at 5 the following morning From there I took the train to meet up with my friend Annetta in Boston. I later went to Connecticut to visit Jessie, but no photos of that experience exist, except for two taken on Jessie's cell phone of her and I next to our favorite vehicles at an old car show in Woodbury. Alas, the photo of me and the green, '50's Ford pickup is locked in a text message and I don't know how to extract it.What follows are some photo highlights from my trip to Boston, including work by some of my favorite street (now also gallery) artists, the Brazilian twins Os Gemeos.
