Life on Mars (and in Boston)


We visited the Boston Museum of Science over the weekend, to watch The David Bowie Experience at the Planetarium. Not sure the last time I was here... possibly never? But I was looking for something that would be similar to seeing U2 at Sphere, but not costing $400 a ticket and taking 3 days travel to do it. This cost $10 a ticket, plus parking. We took a 2 hour drive on a foggy cool and damp afternoon on Route 2, with a tropical system to both our east and west.



Afterwards, all we had to do was walk over the canal bridge and around the corner to the Royal Sonesta Hotel, where we had dinner, and took pictures of the Boston skyline on a tropical early October evening. Welcome to New England.



I've been visiting Boston for 40 years, and have witnessed many changes. It's still the State I live in, and the Capitol city. Not as many clubs as I remember, but still plenty of culture, and the physical nature of the city has been somewhat altered by the tunnel and the development on either sides of where the highway overpasses used to cast giant shadows on the North End.
