Today was the first really nice day ALL YEAR in Boston. It was almost 80 and sunny almost all day. Bostonians were ecstatic and walking around with stupid grins on their faces. It was great.

It was especially great because my mom is visiting this weekend for the first time, so we spent a great day walking around the city... we went up to the top of the Prudential building, around downtown, and up to Harvard and Cambridge. Lots more pictures from today are in here: www.pbase.com/dellybean/boston

This is in the Boston Public Library's courtyard. It's gorgeous and calm and old and feels like a little piece of Europe in the middle of bustling Boston.

I took about 200 pictures today, so I feel repentant for missing a few days this week :)
