Okay so this started because I needed somewhere to hide from the rain between Copley and the Fens and now it's just a whole thing I do, dragging myself (and usually a used paperback I shouldn't have bought) through Boston galleries on my days off. I'm not an art person, I promise, I'm a PT who likes color and quiet rooms, but anyway here's where I keep ending up, Back Bay to the Seaport to SoWa and back to JP where I actually live. So good to just wander with no appointment.
