A Very Late Posting of My Trip to Boston - IN JULY!

These are in no particular order... as this first one is from the day I got home and hadn't had enough Lemoncello. This is my modified lemon drop - a good lemoncello and vodka. The best for a hot summer evening. (As far as I am concerned it is spelled lemoncello. It is probably incorrect, but I don't give a crap tonight, so there neener neener.)

And here we have my feet while checking out MIT (also known as Matty's former digs) with the light fading and I used the flash.
This is at Trinity Episcopal church in Boston. I love the vein's! There were so many little details like this all over the church. When we visited, we couldn't go in because there was a wedding. But the outside was so lovely that it didn't matter; besides who could get angry that they couldn't go inside a church because of a wedding?


This might be one of my favorites: Matt and I outside Trinity reflected in the Hancock building. The juxtaposition of the two styles is really interesting. On one side of the street you have your Gothic and on the other you have your modern. The only thing I wish I had done was bring the messenger bag instead of the purse du jour...


And then across the street from Matt's apartment is the most lovely church garden... The pictures of Mary with the dove on her head all came out blurred, but this one is perfect. What's not to love - St. Francis and roses!

Rather embarrassing that it took so damn long to post these bad boys. And the part that I am most proud to say is that this trip was in the middle of my get rid of the baby weight so help me god diet and I didn't' deviate too far. The beer and pizza were totally negated by the 10 to 15 miles we walked that day. I can't wait to go back! Next time we are totally gonna hit Salem and hopefully a haunted Boston tour.
