The Nagasawa Family Photos August 2022
Our beloved Laine family (Mako's sister Mari, her husband Richard, and their kids Lucas and Gabrielle) came from France to visit with us from August 4 - 25! Here are some of our adventures.
Camping at Nickerson State Park, whale watching, Provincetown, biking on the Cape Cod Rail Trail
Ogunquit Beach, Duckfat, and Eventide
August 22 - 25: Intervale, NH: Hite's Peak, Diana's Pools, Black Cap Mountain
Here we are at the Mattapan trolley. The Laines stayed at an AirBNB house near Mako's mom's place, which is right around the corner from Mattapan Square.
Cousins!
Cousins!
We got onto the red line Ashmont train -- it was getting hot!
We got off at Park Street and walked around Boston Common. This is the north end of the Common, near the Massachusetts State House. John told the story of General Hooker, whose statue stands behind us. Apparently, the reason why prostitutes are nicknamed "hookers" has to do with him.
Park Street Cemetery, where Benjamin Franklin and other notable American figures are buried.
Lucas and Gaby were really taken by the squirrels.
The Old City Hall.
Old South Church, the launching point of the Boston Tea Party.
Statues honoring the Irish immigrants who came to the U.S. because of the Irish potato famine.
This fountain near South Station was a welcome relief from the heat!
After this, we went over to Chinatown to eat dim sum.
Back at our house, John and Lucas enjoyed each other's piano playing. Then, Lucas and Gaby introduced us to a variation on the game Mafia. It's called Werewolf, and we all loved it. So much better than Mafia!
On Sunday, August 7th, after church service, we walked around Harvard and MIT.
Zoe and Ming shared about their experiences as students at Harvard. Here we are crossing the JFK bridge before turning back, since we were not interested in seeing Harvard buying up more land in Allston-Brighton.
Gaby recalling Samson, the Hebrew judge, pushing over pillars.
A storm rolled in and we made it across the Longfellow Bridge to the MGH red line stop just in time. But Richard snapped these pictures with the impressive backdrops.
