So, okay, I am spending this weekend in Boston and then heading off to Washington DC for a few days, and I pretty much have no idea what I want to do while I am in either place!

Anyone got any suggestions for me? I like things like museums and pretty areas to wander around and cultural landmarks and such, also things that are accessible by public transport and do not require really huge amounts of walking.

Yes, yes--I second this suggestion! Take the green line--it's not as far away as it seems, and it's worth it. Also make sure to stop off at the Boston Public Library in Copley Square to see the building; walk through the North End (an Italian neighborhood); and, if you have time, take the red line out to Harvard and Central Squares and walk around (for a particular kind of Boston-area urbanism as well as Harvard).

I have an e-mail of suggestions for DC I sent to melete a few years ago--I'll forward that. Have fun! M.
