I saw two amazing - AMAZING - movies this week. Both very different and both I highly recommend.
Singing Revolution - the story about how Estonia became free from Soviet rule. I was touched so many times, got chills, and was moved to tears. It was so interesting from a historical standpoint as well. http://www.singingrevolution.com/
Dark Knight - the next Batman movie - awesome awesome awesome.
GO SEE THEM!!! I'm just sayin'...

Old North Church Crypt
Cross and candles in the columnbarium section of the crypt.
Our tour guide explaining the different parts of the crypt.
Old North Steeple - took this pic standing right underneath it. The steeple is not the original as the original steeple was destroyed in 1804 during a major storm and it's replacement was destroyed in 1954 during Hurricane Carol. Fortunately, no one was hurt and the only damage was a small nitch to the corner of the building directly across from the church.

On the River Charles
Eating a twizzler, about to embark on a game of rummy, and waiting for the concert and fireworks to begin.
Twizzlers are really addictive - everyone's eating them!
Two of my favorite people
I think she was planning on shielding her eyes from the bright fireworks display - either that or she was too cool for either of us!

Boston Pops and the 1812 Overture
Before they air the live Boston Pops 4th of July, the Pops performs the 1812 Overture and at the end there's always a spectacular fireworks show!
Some 1812 Overture facts:
Did you know that Tchaikovsky wrote the overture to commemorate Russia's 1812 defense against Napoleon and his French army during the French invasion of Russia. It actually has nothing to do with the United States
The work begins with the theme of a Russian Orthodox hymn and later the Russian national anthem can be heard (God Save the Tsar!) Pretty cool, eh?

June has come and is almost gone. It's been a terrific start to the summer already! Running, tennis, a new frozen yogurt place near my house which has THE BEST frozen yogurt on the face of this earth, summer game nights, and all spent in the company of friends who are very close to my heart.
Two weekends ago I spent some short, but quality time at home with some of my Ohio friends and family - celebrating Carina and Nate's wedding and seeing my dad on Father's day.
