Made Boston Marathon 2033. I guess I will need more preservation after the walk. The trick is to stop when tired. I now have all reservations so no need to rush. Saw a wedding at a huge Monastery . The get away car was a white Tesla. ~linda

Linda, caught up on correspondence today and have so enjoyed your photo essay. The weather gods seemed to have blessed you with very little rain. Your flower photos are stunning. Love your early morning photos, as I grow older the quiet of early mornings is one of my favorite times. Congratulations on making 2023 Boston! Stay safe and journey on!
