. I've never been back since, for while I'm
grateful, although I hear there are parts of Boston that are actually quite
nice (Cambridge area perhaps?)

In spite of what I had written about driving in Boston, it's a great city and
area to visit. First of all, it's compact, great for walking. The North End is
Italian, clothes lines going from building to building, and it's a short walk
from downtown, Beacon Hill and Louisburg Square, the waterfront, all that good
stuff.

Cambridge on the other hand is someting of a blue collar town, with several
obvious exceptions.

For a truly remarkable experience, though, I recommend you find your way to
Concord, where it might be route 62 that crosses the Concord River, and rent a
canoe. Go downstream to the Old North Bridge, where the shot heard around the
world was fired. It's a magical experience. Go upstream, you'll experience some
of Thoreau's inspiration.

Then there's this: after driving around Boston for awhile, you'll disconver
driving in your home area (unless it's Paris) is like being the 800 pound
gorilla.

BTW, Boston in a snow storm is a graduate class in Offensive Driving.
