Pictures from my travels - the final installment

[billyskank]

At the end of my vacation, I took a train to Boston and met bicentennial_baby and sniffa. I already knew bi_baby from DU while I didn't really know sniffa, who I found to be a very warm and affection man. They are great hosts and I had a wonderful time with them.

Boston was my favourite place. It is very beautiful, and seems to be a very agreeable place to be if you are a vegetarian. It has a functioning metro and also has much pleasant green space inside the city:













We also visited the State House:

3. I'm glad you found a town to fall in love with.

I missed those lovely spots on my visit to Boston in 2005.

Your photos of the entire trip were great.

I didn't have the chance to get to know Bi-Baby the one time we in DC but sniffa was giving great foot massages when I was in Boston.

Meeting DUers can be lots of fun.

I really love the pics, did you ever point the camera at other humans? hehe

I have one in mind that I'd love to see candidly. Well 2...hmm 3.. 7.

Final sounds so final. I dont want it to end! :cry:

:hi:

[billyskank]

12. Not often.

Most of the time I was with people, I was enjoying their company too much to remember or want to spoil it by asking for a photograph. And I don't know if they want their pictures posting on DU.

:hi:

[Inchworm]

14. You do have a point

I would have totally forgot about taking pics at that point too :P

Mornin dude!

:hi:

[billyskank]

15. Aw jeez

Nothing like that happened, not anywhere, and not with anybody!

[Inchworm]

17. huh, wha?

what is "like that"? hehe I just meant with all that cooking and driving and meeting peoples it would have been difficult to say OK now, hold still while I snap a pic :P

:hug:

13. Hey billy!

I'm glad you had fun, though.

[billyskank]

16. I'm sorry I missed you too.

19. Too bad you didn't take any NY pictures

Boston is indeed an awesome place though.

:hi:

[billyskank]

20. Apart from staying with you, I spent most of my time in NY travelling.

But when I took the train from Rhinecliffe down the Hudson to NY Penn station, the views were stunning. Upstate New York appears to be nothing but trees, and the autumn colours were exquisite. I was too busy enjoying it to take any pictures. Your country is very beautiful indeed.

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

21. "Nothing but trees"

Yup. LoL. The tree colors are really vivid right now though.

22. My dear billy!

These are so beautiful, sweetie!

Boston is one of the most gorgeous cities on the planet!

I especially like the stained glass one...

Where is that?

I'm sorry you're done with posting these...

But I guess it's true: All good things must come to an end...*sigh*

Thanks...:hug:
