In my new feed reader, the links for your blog are light blue and I swear it said BRAILLE bookshop, which of course gave me pause.

The outdoor section of Brattle used to be open all year round but covered in rain or snow. I was just cleaning my library shelves yesterday and admiring all the beautiful old books I bought there, many for just $1.00, almost all for less than $10.00.
I can't wait to read your blog about Boston. I hope you love it as much as I do. All those wonderful things you can do in Boston,walking from one to another or taking the T. So easy. World class museums and top of the line music and art. Trinity Church in Copley Square is worth a visit, too, for the John LaFarge stained glass.
Ah, I miss Boston so much! When I fly into Logan, I usually get teary eyed!
