There are so many great things about living near Boston (Red Sox, Fanuel Hall, Symphony Hall, Jordan Hall, Legal Seafood, Paparazzi (the restaurant), the Museum of Fine Arts, Peabody-Essec Museum, the Fuller Craft Museum, and last, but certainly not least, the Harbor Express Ferry to Boston from Quincy, where, as a Senior Citizen, I can ride into one of the great harbours in the world, with a fantastic skyline, and arrive at Long Wharf, go to the North End and eat great Italian("La Summa" comes to mind), and all for $6. round trip (!!!), and $3. parking.
And along the way, you can partake in such spectacles as the Tall Ships ("Op. Sail Boston, 2012"
as witness the enclosed photos.  Talk about timing the ferry ride in with the arrival of the ships.

And last night I looked in on the Satuit Band, my community band for 21 years, from which I retired this Spring, and watched my successor, Charlie Shaffer lead them in a concert in Rockland, and doing very very well, thank you.  Good Band!  Enjoy the photos.
