We toured the JFK Library designed by I. M. Pei under the direction of Jackie Kennedy. The well-planned walk through the building chronicles his life from being a senior at Harvard through his legacy. The most interesting part was about his time in Europe prior to the start of WWII and the books he wrote before and early in his political life.
We then rode the first US subway to the first US park. The Boston Common and adjacent Public Garden were lovely for a mild fall stroll. The Garden is filled with sculpture as well as flowers. The most charming are based upon Robert McCloskey’s Make Way for Ducklings. Most of the others are tributes to the famous and obscure, from George Washington to the use of ether in surgery.
