Boston in the Summertime - Part 1

A couture bridal salon on the posh Newbury Street, L'elite Bridal. I always think that wedding gowns displayed in windows look a little like Emily Dickinson would, gazing from the upstairs window, as a recluse in Amherst (except without a head!)...

Boston Common, and the Swan Boats, with their peddlers working very hard under the hot sun.

City Hall, one of the most stately of its kind, and right on the Freedom Trail.
Can you believe the Big Dig is actually over? Living in Boston all through high school and hearing about the interminable delays, expenses, and accidents, it seemed like the project would never be finished - but lo and behold, it is! This is a stretch of park covering the new tunnel near the North End. (fun fact: It was in a restaurant in the North End last Christmas that Todd told Mom he was going to propose to me. When I came back from the restroom, I suspected nothing!)
