Boston Reviews






Mike's Pastry is a delicious italian bakery in the North End of Boston.  One of my favorite spots to visit.  I highly recommend the chocolate chip cannoli.  It is the best I have ever had.  The marzipan is also excellent.  The last picture is of a building in Faneuil Hall Market Place, also known as Quincy Market.  It is located in downtown Boston and has lots of fun shops, restaurants and bars.  If you are in the mood for chinese food at a restaurant that then turns into a bar with dancing and scorpion bowls to share then I recommend the Hong Kong.

"Make Way For Ducklings"



I don't usually post book reviews, but I just love this one!  It is a children's book called "Make Way For Ducklings" by Robert McCloskey. This book was first published in 1941 and describes how a family of Mallard ducks grows up in Boston's Public Gardens.  It has actually become Massachusetts State Children's Book.  Growing up in MA I always loved going to the Public Gardens and visiting the ducklings.  While I was in Boston last week, I visited them again!  For more information, check out this link:

Photos from Boston



I know that I have not posted new photographs for a long time, but it has been a very busy month!  I moved to a new city and also went on a vacation to one of my favorite cities (if not my number one favorite) in this county.  Boston is beautiful, and now that the Big Dig is over, it is even more beautiful.  Check out my pictures!
