One of the highlights of the trip was our visit to Boston’s Museum of the Fine Arts. I spent Mother’s Day looking at some of the world’s most famous pieces of art.
The murals on the ceiling at the museum were painted by Sargent, one of my favorite artists who is primarily known for his landscapes. 
Boston’s public library is absolutely gorgeous. If Midland had a library that looked like this, I would probably buy fewer books on Amazon! (I am currently trudging my way through Ulysses - it is a tedious read).
Across from Boston’s public library in the downtown area, we visited Trinity Church which was founded in 1733.
We then headed to the North End for dinner.
Boston has some wonderful parks which are of course full of history. Here are some photos from the Public Garden in Boston, adjacent to the Boston Common.
This is also the park in the book “Make Way for Ducklings.”
The Charles River divides the cities of Boston & Cambridge. Once on the water, you can catch some breathtaking views of the cities.
Mike will only be in Boston through July of 2010 & we are hoping to make one more trip up there before he leaves. We had a great time - thanks for being such a great host & tourguide Mike!

Sarah, might you be a decendent of the green family of the former proprietors of the “Green Photpgrapher” at 140 Court, Street Boston. I just came across a photo of my grandfather taken during the mid to late 1800’s by Green…………..jerry sachs
Hi Jerry. Thanks for leaving a comment. What an interesting question! “Green” is my married name and to the best of my knowledge my husband did not have any family in the Boston area during the mid to late 1800s so it must have been a different Green who photographed your family. Thanks, Sarah
I Have some photographs that were taken in the 30s and 40By My Family at your studioand numerous othersin the Boston Area They are beautiful pictures and well done. Is there any way you might be able toput a name to any of these?
