Today Melissa and I went down to the Hatch Shell on the Esplanade and enjoyed a few hours of the 2005 Boston Blues Festival. There were a couple of acts, but the one that made the biggest impression on me was David "Honeyboy" Edwards, a 90-year old Delta Blues musician. He was just amazing! Here's a photo of him playing:

It was a little too chilly to sit for very long by the river, so we left after Edwards' performance. We took the train over to Central Square in Cambridge to check out the Central Square World's Fair. We made our way through the crowds, stopped and looked at a couple of booths, and even watched a few performers. In the end, we didn't see that much of interest, so we left.
