Family Time

 

On the first of October we left Maine and stayed on 95 south toward Boston where Bruce's cousin Virginia lives in the neat little borough of Wayland with her husband Colin Steel.

 

Entering the Boston area and near the exit we wanted was this accident and this picture was pretty constant for about 30 minutes. If you blow up the picture below you will see the redi-mix concrete truck on its side with all its wheels facing us. The yellow crane is trying to upright it in the 4 pm traffic. You have to hand it to the response team as there are about 20 emergency vehicles trying valiantly to extract this 40 ton mess before the 5 pm rush. I don't think the guy in the concrete truck was hurt as it landed on the right side but he probably wasn't having his best day at work.

 



After that excitement we landed again on Hanscomb AFB near Bedford MA. We've been there before and it affords a nice large level lot quite near Boston for our $20. The day was rainy and about 50 so pretty cool.

We popped over to Virginia and Colin's place in Wayland. About a month ago she had just undergone open heart surgery to replace a bad valve and is looking absolutely awesome and fit for such an invasive operation.

Lunch was in Wayland at a neat place called the Local where they buy their food products locally and really craft them into some wonderful dishes; great choice and super food and company.

There are times like this that we wished we had more time and money to just stay here for a week or so and enjoy all that Boston and these folks would like to show us but the reality is that there is about 4,000 miles more before we are back in Texas and three more locations that we want to visit before that.
