The week began in Boston and ended in New York. Until Wednesday I was basically at work, attending the International Trademark Association annual meeting. From Thursday onwards it was vacation.<\/p>\n

Main<\/strong>
\nI immodestly start with a picture of me, taken with my camera by a colleague. Various law firms and associations host receptions at the INTA; the one given by a large Japanese law firm is among the most popular:

\nThis is one of the reasons for the popularity of this party, freely flowing sake:

\nAt another reception, this time at the Boston Museum of Science, cultures are mixing. INTA is a truly international event:

\nThis picture is all about light and shadow:

\nOne early evening we took a taxi to Boston’s Chinatown. Somewhat atypically, the taxi driver played only classical music and conversed in French with the French members of our party. Turned out that he was indeed a classical music buff, and an immigrant from Haiti:

\nOne of the things I loved about Boston was the city’s beer culture, far more advanced than anything I could remember from my 13 years of living in the US, and also much better than what I found in New York later in the week. Here we are at a brew pub in Cambridge:

\nThis is the waitress who was bringing me the excellent product in the previous picture:

\nA street scene on commencement day at Harvard. Everyone in this image looks tense in their own way:

\nA father and daughter listen to musicians at the Boston Common:

\nThe little girl was delightful, as was the overall scene:

On Friday morning I flew to New York and spent the rest of the weekend there.<\/p>\n

\nMy taxi on the way from JFK to Manhattan:

\nWalking around Manhattan on Friday afternoon, I happened upon a demonstration outside a BP gas station:

\nActivist being interviewed:

\nWashington Square Park in the evening:

\nSubway station in the evening:

Alternate 17<\/em>
\nOn Saturday morning my cousin from Florida (she had come up to NYC to spend the weekend with me) and I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge:
\n\"_1010447\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 18<\/em>
\nThis woman was wisely watching out for the cyclists, some of whom are quite reckless:
\n\"_1010448\"<\/p>\n

Alternate 19<\/em>
\nOne of the reasons why walking across the Brooklyn Bridge is a popular activity are views like this:

\nOn the Brooklyn side, waiting outside a coffee shop:

The final two pictures are from a shop called Economy Candy, a wonderful old-fashioned place on Rivington Street, where I was buying Chick O’Sticks and Peanut Butter Chews for my daughter.<\/p>\n

Alternate 21<\/em>
\nBulk candy:
