I know we discussed it already, but enjoy that!

Take a quick tour of the Harvard and MIT campuses, they're fairly decent. That's about all I can say about Boston, heh.

Take the 36 bus from Forest Hills to Charles River Loop and you'll be within walking distance of my house. That's the only clue you get though! Ha! Ha!

Unfortunately I'm with my grandparents and my grandmother isn't letting me out of her sight, we're only here until Monday so I'm leaving tommorow. Both my grandparents have been getting pains in their legs so walking is out of the question and my grandmother likes to know everything about what we're going to do at any given time.

She is also rather paranoid about theft and such and despite the fact that I'm turning 19 this year she still keeps me close by. Luckily I'm able to stay in the lobby this time. We were also offered a FREE room on the 34th floor of the hotel (due to my grandparents going to these hotels often, like a frequent flier miles kind of thing) but due to a fire alarm that went off in the Merriott when they were last here (she was glad they picked a room on the seventh floor) we instead got a room on the 16th which at least still has a very beautiful view of the library and the Charles River.

As for where I'm staying, I'm at the Westin on Copley Plaza. Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library are right across the street from it. Unfortunately due to time contraints ( as I explained) I was only able to be in the library for twenty minutes, I found it absolutely beautiful especially the courtyard and the murual of Jesus on the upper floor. I hope to return to Boston again but perhaps on my own, and stay for a week, I don't think staying for any shorter amount of time will give the same impact.

We went on a Duck Tour today and I enjoyed it and so did everyone else, as I said walking around the city (which is my preferred way of experiencing things, I don't like planned outings really) is out of the question. And overall I'm having a great time. Theres a delicious looking sushi place at the Westin but due to this being our last day we won't get a chance (and my grandmother doesn 't like that kind of food, but they do have tempura and other kinds of similar dishes as well, its a sushi bar after all).

Tonight I'm eating dinner at the Atlantic Fish Company (NOT the chain with the similar name, although I could be screwing up the name). Friday night we ate at the Wagamama (it was convenient and looked good, I had never been to one) near the Fenrell (?) Hall outdoor market. I thought the food was rather good. And last night (I didn't pick the place, the food was OK though but not as good as Wagamama) I ate at the California Pizza Something-or-other.

Wow this was long.... How do you guys like the paragraphs this time :-P ?

I always get a kick out of the "Legal Sea Foods" signs in bright, bold neon styled lights in the DC area. Makes me want to find a fish speakeasy!
If you've done things right, people won't be sure if you've done anything at all.

Ugg boots are to fashion as Christina Aguilera is to wholesome morality.

Please die. No, really, I want you to die in real life. While your family is forced to watch.
