Saratoga to Boston, MA via Albany, NY

DRIVE from SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY to BOSTON, MA

Hudson River & Albany, NY

It was a gorgeous sunny day for A. Paul's & my drive to Boston, MA.  The approach to I-90 (Mass Pike) provided a wonderful view of the Hudson River with a glimpse of Albany's skyline. 

Along the interstate, the landscape was waking up from a long winter, with remants of cascading ice floes frozen to the side of the road.  The sunlight casting through the woods created abstract shadows beckoning to be photographed.

The short 3 hour drive from Saratoga Springs, NY to Boston, MA permitted us to arrive in Boston with the city illuminated in afternoon light.  The view of two sailboats in the Charles River was almost too perfect against the city's skyline.

Though we would like to stay and explore the city further,tomorrow, we must head to Provincetown.  Until then,  I leave you tonight with the link to Boston's Museum of Fine Art which is a definite must see when planning a visit to historic Boston.  http://www.mfa.org/  The newest wing, the Art of the Americas Wing, has rave reviews and is on the top of our list to see when we next return to Boston, but you can read more about this centerpiece expansion and its collections at http://www.mfa.org/americas-wing/?q=thenewmfa.
