Shakespeare in the Park AND the State Capitol

I ventured into Boston with Alexa, Hiro and Justin to visit the last session of State parliament before the recess.  As Shakespeare in the Park was occurring on Boston Common we spent a bit of time watching 12th night before going up the hill to the Capitol building.



 The State Capitol.






We sat in the public gallery for a while watching the Congress.  So bizarre - everybody milling around seemingly aimlessly, chatting, sitting up behind the speaker. Every now and then there would be a roll call.
One of our classmates, Jennifer Benson is a member of the State legislature.She graciously invited us to her rooms where we chatted with her daughter and staff.  The picture below is a letter that was sent to Jen's grandmother by JFK.
