Visited my Aunt Connie (my mother's sister) at her retirement home in Cambridge in the morning. Minor glitch - I arrived about 15 minutes before my 10:00 a.m. scheduled arrival time, but was caught in gridlocked traffic behind the Cambridge Memorial Day parade, which was passing right in front of the retirement home, so by the time I waited for all the bands and Little League teams and fire trucks to go by and parked several blocks away, it was 10:30.
In the afternoon, visited my cousin Anne (on my father's side of the family) in Brookline. We took the "T" (streetcar/subway) downtown and spent most of the afternoon walking through the colonial houses in the North End, past Paul Revere's Old North Church and along the waterfront to the U.S.S. Constitution, then back along the harbor walk past many new hotels and condo developments. Big sports day in Boston - Bruins played in the Stanley Cup Finals at the Boston Garden at 8:00 p.m. and Red Sox played at Fenway at 4:00. Finished our walk at the Boston Common, where thousands of American flags had been placed on the lawn to honor veterans for Memorial Day.
