boston

is amazing.

i still dont have pictures but i have lots to update with.

friday, my flight was long but i made it unscathed. got down to the shop and then headed back to bills to drop my stuff off. went to a pub called deep ellum or something and hung out for the night with his friends. super fun bunch! i even had a cider... dun dun dunnnnn

saturday, after a very cold night (the heat wasnt on in my room) we got up, went for a yummy breakfast of sour cream pancakes, and then headed down town to wander. we went through the boston gardens, where bill got bit by a squirrel (yes, bit by a squirrel), saw city hall, hay market, other stuffs.. and then went to the science center. so much fun!

after that, we needed to eat. i wanted to go somewhere bostony, so bill suggested mcgreevys which is bostons first sports bar and is owned by the dropkick murphys. i thought that was neat cause my friend josh plays bagpipes for them. josh was the dj at the underground, the bar i spent most of my time at when i turned 18 and on. anyways, we get down to mcgreevys, and it turns out that josh is there! so i get to visit with an old friend, from calgary, in boston, which is fun enough, but then we get on the guest list for the mighty mighty bosstones hometown throwdown 11. fun fun fun! it was a great night and yes, more cider was had. oops? im not sad about it.. so..

today i got up and we grabbed some breakfast and i took the train back down town. ah yes, i forgot to mention that *both* of my cameras died in the start of saturdays walk. so i backtracked it all today and took some pictures. first, i found some people at the train station giving away free hugs, so i got three of those, then went off. wandered through the north end, which is the italian area, helped a little old lady get off the curb, and took some pictures of the church that paul revere lit up when the british were coming. i also stopped for some gelato and chilled to some christmas tunes.

after all that, i did some shopping, but didnt buy, and went back to the shop. now we have eaten pizza (4 cheeses! including riccotta!!) and watched tropic thunder (ummmm...) and are now chilling to some old bill cosby stand up.

tomorrow, at some point, i am going to be at a bus on my way to new york. hopefully earlier rather than later.

pictures and more elaborations later!
