The owner of this car lives right by us. I always forget to take pictures of it.

We got off the T at Chinatown and started walking towards the North End, which is Boston’s version of Little Italy.

I got lucky and took a hail mary shot of this mahjong game with the camera over my head. I can’t believe how perfectly framed it is.

I saw the colonial soldier walking down the street and got ready to shoot him as he walked by. To my astonishment, he stopped and stood right in the center of my frame to view the mural.

My cousin took this shot of Suzi and I.

Once I-93 went underground, there was some debate as to what to do with the land. Some wanted to put up more buildings, a lot of people wanted to put in greenery. I was glad that they put in a park. Here is a spot with a dancing water fountain.

Christopher Columbus Park.

Towards the North End.

My last shot before we got on the T to head back to Cambridge.
