Donelda, Alex, Lauren, Jenny & I at the Boston waterfront
We had an extra day off this inter-session break so a few of us had decided to cruise down to Boston for a 1day/1night trip. We left Luzernia at about 5:30am Saturday morning and landed in Boston about 4hrs later. After securing our room, we jumped on the train and headed downtown. Our first stop was Fenway Park; but we discovered that we couldn't actually get inside Fenway unless we took a tour (which, none of us wanted to do), so we took some pictures of it's outside, ate at an amazing Mexican place, and headed out.
Next, we went up, up, up 50 floors of the Prudential Building and seen Boston from above. It was awesome. I just love to cruise up the high buildings in cities I visit, and this was no exception. Boston is a beautiful city.
Next, we went to the Christian Science Center, where Lauren and Alex got to play in some water.
After that we were feeling kinda bushed (as we had been on our feet for about 5hrs), so we went to Boston Common to rest a bit. Here we were, in a park, minding our own business, stretched out on a large plot of grass to call our own, when a complete wedding party invades us to take a photo shoot. They were standing over us, beside us, on top of us, all around us, literally. We asked them if they wanted us to move, but they were insistent that we not. After 10 minutes or so, we jumped up and cruised'er. We hung out with George Washington, then went and found bathrooms.
We hit up an African cultural event, then caught a bit of Yoyoman's show, then got something to eat at the market.
We were all pretty bushed after all that, so we went back home and winded down for the night.
The next morning (Sun.July17) we headed down to the waterfront. Jenny & I were feeling left out, so we also bought some B O S T O N tshirts. After a brief stop at Urban Outfitters, we made our way back to the car, and out of Boston. After going the wrong way for a while, we got on the right track and made it back to HH with 30 minutes to spare before our staff prep meeting for today's start of Session 4.
The trip really sparked an interest in me to just cruise to any given city at any given time, even if just for a day or two, and see it. I can’t wait for the next one, hopefully it’s Philly!
