yes we did it even though i was a bit nervous about facing my old neighborhood, my "lost" friends. i know the internet makes it possible to be close even though being far apart. it was great to see and meet our friends for real and keep a discussion going for a couple of hours. lots of very deep felt moments, meeting people as well as being at very familiar places, which don't really are in my life anymore. or are they still?
of course the greenstreet playground, a favorite as ever, especially with a the best friend in amos' world.
very fun and messy tea parties at our friends house, thank you r for hosting.
there is this one friend, we almost could not leave her place anymore, she has a swing in her living room. what a cool way to entertain guests.
once coffee and of course once for a pressed farmers lunch with amos. stopping by city feed and supply.
passing time, knitting and cat sitting
a special treat for my birthday, a longish visit through the MFA, with two good friends (and no kids in tow)
just on my own, walking through the city. i do not remember when i was doing this without any agenda as well as no time commitment. this is, i guess, what i from now on shall call relaxing.
so much of our life in boston was around this church with lots of our friends still there, visiting has been good and exhausting at the same time.
and of course, the aquarium was on amos' agenda. together with friends we enjoyed a morning at the waterfront
since we left there is a new yarn and fabric store called JP knit & stitch. of course i had to visit and see what i miss out! leaving the place with some lovely yarn in my bag...
there were lots of great moments with amos, picnicing, wandering and chatting, sharing memories and of course once more, saying good by to all our friends and places, as we did 2 years ago!

Haven't been to Boston in several years. I know what you mean about going back for a visit with friends - it really does change. You feel different, a little 'odd' or out of place and yet at home somewhat too. That's okay. It's good to reconnect and see things with new eyes so to speak.
