Wednesday the 11th
It was a beautiful day - partly overcast and brisk, but not cold. We took a guided photo tour of sights in the North End (Italian district). The light was perfect, according to our guide. I learned a few things to improve my photographs, but mainly it was just fun to have our guide's perspective on the area.
In the afternoon we went to the Isabella Gardner art museum near the Museum of Fine Art. Isabella collected art and built a museum to house it in the early part of the 1900's. When she died she specified the museum be maintained exactly as she had built it with everything exhibited in the same place for ever. So, you have a slice of the way things looked from the mid-1900's.
Thursday the 12th
I went to Concord to visit Julia and her family. Lauve was off to her Harvard coaching conference. Julia and I took the dog for a walk among the beautiful fall foliage and caught up on her family happenings - so much going on!
Friday the 13th
Julia and I took their new Co-Motion tandem for a hilly 25 mile spin. The temperature at 8:30 was 36 degrees - the first cold day of the season. We dressed warm and it was fine. With Julia in the stoker position it felt like we had motor-assist. She worked in the afternoon, so Nathan and I played in the woods with his Kubota 4-wheel buggy and chain saw clearing fallen trees for their Nordic ski path.
