The Fourth in Boston - Day 28
2008.07.04
We started with lunch at Regina Pizzeria in the North End--highly recommended by all.
|
What luck! The Red Sox World Series trophy (or a replica thereof) was in the restaurant at the same time as us. We didn't press to get a picture taken with the trophy.
|
A heartrending statue at the Irish Famine Memorial in downtown Boston.
|
A brief history of the famine
|
This dance/gymnastics troup entertained in front of Faneuil Hall.
|
The so-called "Leap of Death"
|
Breakdancing (all photo credits in this segment to Kallie)
|
A t-shirt in every color but Celtic green--they must have sold out.
|
Flag reflection
|
Statue of Arthur Fiedler, legendary conductor of the Boston Pops.
|
As predicted there were many boats in the Charles River for the Fourth.
|
As close as we could get to the Hatch Shell where the Pops were playing--we heard the concert over a loudspeaker. (photo credit to Kallie)
|
Sunset across the Charles
|
A Navy flyover helped kick off the festivities. Thanks for flying right past my lens.
|
New England play on the American flag motif
|
Another sunset shot - this time through the trees
|
Hatch Shell reflected on the canal in Esplanade Park
|
As promised, pastel fireworks!
|
This one made me think of the Death Eaters in Harry Potter.
|
Sometimes looking like something out of a planetarium.
|
We spent July 4 in Boston, ending up in Esplanade Park for the Boston Pops July 4th Fireworks Spectacular.
