Mark and Steve (and house)We spent the weekend with our cruise friends, Mark and Steve. They own a beautiful, old house which is on the national registry. They had a party for us on Saturday with many of the folks we’ve met on cruises. These guys really love their house and it showed.
Then we headed to Boston to visit Ruth, who we’ve made many trips with including our last one to Machu Pichu. Ruth gave us a personal tour of old Boston. We took the T downtown, walked through Boston command and then had a great lunch at the Firefly. We walked many of the downtown streets: the shopping district on Newbury and Boylston Streets as well as the brown stone mansions on Marlborough Street. Ruth volunteers at the Gibson House, a Victorian house with most of its original furnishings and many of the clothes and accessories from that age. The original wallpaper was particularly impressive. We then walked up Beacon Hill to see some of the mansions. Kerry owns a house here that used to be a convent. We concluded the day by going to the North side and having a great Italian dinner.
