This week I’ve had the good fortune to travel to Boston for the 2022 American Alliance of Museums conference. Like most of the world, the Alliance took a break from in person conferences during the pandemic so this is the first in three years. Following tradition, I’m rooming with my long time friend and colleague Jan Gallimore who is very dedicated to morning workouts. Translation: even with a packed conference schedule Jan has encouraged me to get out of bed (in the very wee morning hours) and take a walk to see and enjoy the Boston waterfront.

Having a walking buddy is important. I am not sure without Jan’s strong commitment to exercise, that I would have gone it alone. Getting up with the city street cleaners is a challenge when your traveling. I’m grateful we did because these morning walks have helped to relieve the body stress of my cross country travel and all the sitting in conference sessions. Early morning fog also makes for a great facial! Enjoy my pics! #iluvtowalk #perspectivesfrommytrail #boston #aam2022
