Greetings from Northampton, Mass. - the home of Smith College and Calvin Coolidge. Sally and I walked the streets of historic Deerfield (1700's buildings) Wed. and spent yesterday in Boston starting with a bus tour - which we seem to have abandoned half way through to strike out on our own. Highlights were Paul Revere's home, the old North Church and the cemetery dating to the 1600's. I took lots of pictures of the Public Garden with the swan boats (operated for over 100 years by the same family) and the island for ducks that was the inspiration for McCloskey's story, Make Way for Ducklings. Next time we eat lobster rolls at Quincy Market! Jess gave us some good directions for getting around, though using the train system was still an adventure, esp. when Sally lost her all-day pass and tried to get through the turnstile on mine.

And some of us still just got to work every day... Hope you are having loads of fun - looks like good weather.
Our map reading skills are not improving - a one mile hike turned into 5, but thanks to Sally's directions we did make it off the mountain. Hope you retire before I get too old for this kind of thing!
