This afternoon we enjoyed tea and scones within view of Griffin’s Wharf, the location of the Boston Tea Party back in 1773. One of the teas offered at Abigail’s Tea Room is Singlo, a green tea that was the variety that was cold steeped in Boston Harbor that night. It was a pleasant interlude in our traipsing around town. Genealogy at the library, lunch on Boylston, then a pleasant stroll through Boston Commons and along Summer Street to the waterfront. May is a such a pleasant time to visit Boston!

OUR VERY

LATEST

Imperial War Museum

Imperial War Museum

London’s Imperial War Museum in Southwark founded even as the First World War raged offers insights into the myriad costs of the wars of the 20th and 21st Centuries. It was a most disquieting but valuable reminder of the myriad costs of war.

London’s Canals

London’s Canals

The two of us have long been fascinated with the history of canals and their role in the history of transportation, industrialization, and more recently recreation. This stay in London has given us new opportunities to explore and learn more about how canals contributed to the growth of this great city and how they are being used and preserved today.

National Portrait Gallery

National Portrait Gallery

It was a most educational visit to the newly renovated National Portrait Gallery at Trafalgar Square in Central London. We were intrigued with the contemporary approach to presenting British History.
