Some photos from Boston

In no particular order …

Scotch eggs and Irish stew at The Peddler’s Daughter in Nashua, NH. The food was pretty good.

It’s a geek joke:

Freedom to destroy the planet:

They have the Antique’s Roadshow in the US, which I was quite impressed about. However they seem to have a lot less of the old fuddy presenters handling crockery with shaking hands, and a lot more about how many thousands of dollars everything is worth:

While I was walking along the bay, an eagle flew past holding half a pigeon. It dropped its meal on the ice and then sat in a tree while I grabbed my camera and took some pictures. This was (unfortunately) the best one:

A 16th century graveyard:

Cheeky squirrel:

The squirrel was next to this ice-rink in the main park in central Boston:

Carl Zeiss Planetarium at the Boston Museum of Science:

Some street scenes from the old quarter:

The office is in fact in Westford, MA which is miles away from Boston itself:

The Red Hat office:

Some typical lunches. I had to go a long way to find those fruits:
