On family history, parenting, education, social issues and more
My friend told me that in addition to taking tons of pictures, I also absolutely have to try some of the local food, and I can’t leave Boston without trying it.
With that in mind, we headed in the direction of the Boston Harbor.
Each art museum is different, and there is no such thing as “too much art.” It does not matter that we have the Art Institute in Chicago, it does not matter how many art museums I visited in my life. It does not matter how many Florentine icons I’ve seen in my life, or how many Monet’s or Van Gogh’s. Each one is a new one.
Started the day at the Faro Cafe (the best coffee in Harvard, according to my friend). The coffee was good, and the cafe definitely had a vibe.
We walked to yet another neighborhood, Charlestown, for a Thai dinner and more history. It had a very different vibe, strangely more like a “small American town,” and at the same with way more history in the air.
The thing I liked the most in Boston, was walking around different neighborhoods and feeling different vibes, starting from Cambridge.
After the Isabella Gardner museum, we went to the Massachuset Fine Arts Museum:
I am trying not to post too many artworks because my amateur photos do not do them any justice, but since I can’t talk about these artworks without showing them, I tend to post too many:). The picture below struck me, and when I read the story, it struck me even more.
And then to a Korean place for more desserts:
The first day went just perfect! The building where my friend live has a great gym
We went for breakfast to Tatte:
And then to the Isabella Gardner Museum:
My mini-vacation started with the horrific flight delay. I was so happy with how I planned Friday, avoiding the congestion at ORD by taking public transportation, only to depart five hours later than it was scheduled!
The good thing is that I was at the AA lounge, so I had food, drinks, and comfortable seating, and also I had instance access to customer service. Eventually, I was put on a flight that departed earlier than my original one. However, we were delayed a couple of times, even on that flight. The aircraft just started to gain ground speed and then stopped, and we were told we would need to wait for the storm to clear! So – one more adventure! At least I was able to get to my friend’s apartment in Boston five minutes after midnight, not in the middle of the night!
A surprising advantage of a large portion of the museum being closed for renovation was that I could focus on some interesting paintings and actually consider them.
I also saw several interesting installations by women artists and a large exhibit of art made by children participating in the museum workshops. But as I said, I focused on a small number of paintings (and I am still intrigued by Kandinsky’s work – still wondering what to make out of it).
