My love/hate relationship with Boston

Boston is my home, but sometimes even I detest it. It's loud, busy, unruly....the cars drive fast and let's face it, New Englander's don't have a reputation for being the warmest people. We talk loud and are in your face. At the same point, it is who were are and I try to appreciate it. Just when I think I've had enough of this city, I see someone hold the door open or help someone with their baby carriage and I think "see, it ain't all bad!"

What I love the most about the city is how old it is. It is full of history and thank goodness, we have been able to preserve some of it. However, it is also a city that is building and changing at warp speed with new hotels and condos going up in every neighborhood. Here are some construction workers that were nice enough to let me sit down and talk to them...and of course, take their picture.

Below is one of my favorite buildings in the city. The custom house. Just gorgeous!


Saving face...
