The weather in Boston has been mixed since we've been here.  Some days it's sunny and in the 60s - 70s.  Other days it's rainy and has even snowed.  When it's nice we go for walks by the Charles River or ride our bikes (carrying them down and back up three flights of stairs each time).  When it's not so nice we've been to the Museum of Science and Museum of Fine Arts. 

Appeal to the Great Spirit is a 1909 equestrian statue by Cyrus Dallin, in front of the MFA.  When I was a kid, every time we went by the museum, my uncle Wally would point to the statue and say, "You know, that Indian gets down from there one day a year to go pee." Every Time!

We also went over to East Boston and out to the new Fan Pier to see the Boston skyline.  It's a lot different than when I lived here in the 1960s.  Here are some views.

Here's the replica of the HMS Beaver - the ship where the Boston Tea Party took place.  Today, you can take a tour, put on a fake head dress and throw boxes of "tea" overboard to re-enact that auspicious event.  (The boxes are attached to ropes so they pull them back in after the tour and use them over and over - very environment friendly!)
