Nocturnal view of Boston metropolitan area captured by an #ISS crew member on April 6, 2013.
Lately, Boston has been on my mind, for a lot of reasons. With the anniversary of the Boston Marathon Bombing yesterday, I’ve been thinking about how grateful I am that those I know who ran in the marathon escaped without physical injuries, even though the tragedy has become part of them. Which led to wondering how people can really think violence is a good resolution for…anything.
That’s when I came upon this image taken from the International Space Station last year, and it is just breathtaking. I get to see that up close and in-person next month (that would be the city, not the space station…although if you can make the space station thing happen, I wouldn’t turn it down!) I’m so grateful that I have the opportunity and the resources that I’ll get to visit a city that played such an integral role in the creation United States. A lot of history can be found in those streets, and I can’t wait to take it in. The countdown has begun…
‘Til next time,
Jessica

Seriously. Doesn’t hatred and violence require quite a bit more effort than peaceful coexistence?
Boston is definitely a cool city. It has been a while. but I’d like to get back there one of these summers.
I absolutely agree!
This will be my first trip to Boston…actually first trip to the East Coast. To say I’m excited is a bit of an understatement.
Cool! Welcome, from a life-long coastie.
