Addendum To Dead People...

I forgot to mention the family we met while touring Lizzie Borden's house. They were a couple from far southwestern Virginia and their son of about 11 or 12. They were on a driving trip along the east coast. They were very nice, but a bit, um, a bit unsophisticated on the finer points of travel. We helped them out as best we could, but my favorite questions had to do with Boston. "Is Boston a big city?" they asked. "Is there anything to do there?" We gave them some suggestions, and mentioned there might be some historical aspects of the city they might find interesting.
