A visit with practically the oldest friend I have on the planet, Louis Stewart, composer, conductor, pianist, teacher, raconteur, curmudgeon, Berklee College faculty, and collaborator on many concerts and recitals for over 50 years. He had not been to the Harvard Art Museum, so I insisted we go, and we had a wonderful afternoon together.
The trip in from Hingham to Long Wharf was especially beautiful.

| First glimpse from Hingham harbor. |
 |
| Closer, closer |
 |
| Magnificent! |
 |
I rarely ride the ferry in the morning when the light is on the buildings.
What a great sight. |
 |
| The great Customs House |
 |
This tall ship has been in the harbor for quite a number of years.
I understand it is for sale. |
 |
The carousel on the Greenway.
What a wonderful collection of animals to ride. |
