Old and New England

Just my luck. My first expenses-paid weekend on the company, and Boston decides to have one of its twice yearly downpours. Still, I like what I could see through the wet - lots of civilized shopping, lovely 19C architecture (if a little Dr Strange mod-gothic), and that beautiful beautiful foliage. It strikes me how much like London this is (but cleaner, more spacious and with more organized shopping). If the weather report is right I may get to see some of it tomorrow.
