A Day in Boston
After finding a super cheap flight to Boston, I decided on a whim to fly across the pond to visit my sister. I flew over to spend some time with my fam and help my sister with house projects, but I took one day out to walk around Boston. Here’s some photos from the day. The dog photo is inspired by Elliot Erwitt’s chihuahua photo.
In Mourning
So, I'm mourning the loss of my Panasonic LX3 digital camera. I left it on a train in Switzerland while there on holiday with my parents. Not only did I lose my camera (and my mind), I lost hundreds of photos that I took from a trip to Canterbury, a visit to Sissinghust Castle in Kent, a long weekend in Paris, and a few days in the beautiful mountains of Switzerland. I had some really great shots and was loving my new camera. It was about a month ago, but I'm still having a hard time getting over it. I had some amazing shots of the Louvre at night with bicycling tourists and a wondrous night sky. Oh well, lesson learned. I submitted a claim to the insurance company, so we'll see if I get any money to replace the camera. The photos are gone forever. I guess the only good thing to say about the whole incident is that Panasonic upgraded the LX3 to a new and improved LX5. If the insurance money comes in, they'll have paid for a new upgrade. I couldn't wait for the whole insurance process, so I went ahead and ordered the LX5. It should be here by the end of the week, allowing me to take more photos and make more posts to the blog. :)
Apple Store
The largest Apple Store in Europe just opened it's doors in London at the Covent Garden Market. The place was jam packed with people. I grabbed a few snaps of the glass spiral staircase.
British Museum
Jerry and I went to the British Museum for an afternoon of culture. I love the museum's architecture. Neo Classical meets today's modern build. The glass ceiling is beautiful and lets so much light in even on a rainy London afternoon. People watching is at it's prime in the Great Court.
