Hooray for Boston!

Hubster and I just returned from 3 weeks (almost) in Scandinavia, and we landed in Boston earlier this afternoon. We had a shuttle ride through the center of the city because another passenger had to get to the Hilton Hotel. We've been to many European cities in the last three years, and I was especially struck by how beautiful Boston was today, especially compared with the European ones. The city was clean and green, and there were flowers everywhere - in all the parks, in front of city buildings, hotels, restaurants - all neat and trimmed and colorful. I noticed only one spot of graffitti during the drive - amazing! The city is blessed with great architecture, grand hotels, wonderful restaurants - we can truly be proud of this splendid city.

And just as beautiful was the ride home to Connecticut - how lush and green everything is today. Let's keep our New England just as clean and green and lovely, and be glad every day that we live in such a wonderful land.
