June 12-14 Belmont and Watertown, MA

One of the true pleasures of travel is spending time with friends that we haven’t seen in years. Jane and Camilla are two people we met on our Australia-New Zealand cruise many years ago and we only have a chance to see every 5 or 10 years. We keep up with email through the years but there is nothing like being together to share conversation and good food.

We spent three wonderful days talking, eating, and walking in the parks around their neighborhood. Of course, watching Red Sox games was mandatory. Bostonians do love their sox. I only wish we could have stayed one more day for the SF Giants arrived in town to play the sox on the day we left.

Driving in Boston is interesting. Most Boston drivers consider the highway laws to be just suggestions. We were lucky that Camilla did most of the driving. I don’t think I’d have lasted long driving the Roadtrek not knowing which laws are actually laws and which are suggestions. I sure one of the very plentiful police officers would be more than happy to give me an expensive lesson.
