I can see clearly now...

I'm back on my feet after last week's viral gremlin. We went to the ICA for the first time yesterday. (It's only been open ten years!) We saw Geoffrey Farmer and Walid Raad exhibits. The Farmer was more fun and compelling with his puppet people and the sculpture cutouts. What we liked most was a film in the collection of a Rube Goldberg-type system called "The Way Things Go".  We enjoyed the harbor views and were astonished by the number of construction cranes. It's a whole new Boston. One thing that is missing from that area right now is food, except for fancy restaurants and a Starbucks. Since we were in need of ice cream, went to the North End for gelato. Quite a contrast in neighborhoods!
The city is starting to empty of students and move into a more relaxed mode for summer. Time to enjoy it.
