Visiting Boston with Martin and Susan BruegelJuly 11, 2009 |
Martin and Susan stopped in for a couple of nights on their way from Pennsylvania to a Maine camping vacation, so on Saturday I headed into Boston with them and Barbara and George for a tour of the city and to see the tall ships that were in town for the week. |
