4th of July

The 4th of July is a huge thing in Boston, of course. We had big plans to watch the Boston Pops and Neil Diamond at the Hatch Shell on the 3rd, but rainstorms loomed so we couldn't go. Then we were going to watch them read the Declaration of Independence at the old State House, but the MBTA red line foiled that plan. Soooo....we ended up having a very all-American picnic, then watching the fireworks.

We stood on a bridge to watch, the bridges closer to the esplanade would have been too crowded. These were the cars passing beneath us.



Then the fireworks began:



And went on:
