In the Heart of Back Bay

Sarah

We arrived in Massachusetts just over 8 weeks ago looking forward to reuniting with our daughter, Sarah as well as many old friends from this area. And of course John was very excited to start his new job!

John and Sue

With little time to waste we briefly unwind from our cross-country trip in yet another bed provided by our friend's in Cape Cod, John and Sue. They kindly put us up for the weekend since our own home there was still occupied by summer renters. On Sunday, the 7th of August, we packed up yet again and drove north to Boston for this next phase of our journey. We make our way through slow summer traffic to the condominium where we will stay for the next couple of months. Our time in Boston will also be useful as a kind of experiment should we decide at some point to make it our retirement home.

The condo is an ultra-modern 1-bedroom unit in the heart of Back Bay Boston! Wow! We are highly impressed with these digs and look forward to our stay here.  John has only to walk 1 1/2 blocks to his new offices and I am eager to explore the city in a way I was never able to before. In our previous years in Massachusetts we would come into Boston periodically for certain events or activities but it's different living here day-to-day. Now I can take my time exploring the streets, our beloved (or should I say beleaguered?) Red Sox and Fenway Park are a mere 1.5 miles walking distance, the beautiful Boston Commons park is also nearby plus there are museums, shops and restaurants galore!
