A few weeks ago, I pulled an all-nighter for an 8 hr drive (interrupted by tolls) to see this beautiful city. It was love at first sight. The city was kind to bikers and pedestrians with a well thought out transportation system Angelenos would cry for -really, why would anyone do such thing? This looong post aims to shed a different light on the city (considering the ones you see and hear about after the incident). Regardless of what happened, I would still live in you any day! Boston, you stole my heart!
I can hear my good friend Gabby (who just recently moved to Boston) express her appreciation for all of the smart people in this city...
...and I couldn't disagree with her. Small local bookstores appear to thrive here, and vacant lots were used as an outdoor library for the public. What a great use of space!
This is so cool. Boston loves books.
Oh my, not so shabby Boston. A petite skyline full of city life and activities -unlike the decaying downtown LA (though it appears to be improving).
Lights!!!! It feels like Christmas.
BAM
POW
Ala-ka-ZAM! So freaking beautiful.
Boston's version of the venice/ central park acrobatic street performers. Thoughts to myself "please don't pick on me please dont pick on me..." (they did not pick on me bc I did not contribute)
Don't be fooled by the beauty of the stoned sidewalks for it is sores & blisters galore.
Look up and this is what you see...
Pop in a specialty tea shop...
...and...
..attempt to befriend the tea expert --who denies having any biological relationship with "David"...
....--and He'll open up to you !
My i'm short. This is me standing at eye-level with the darn shelf
Alright, the next morning. Meander through confused looking tourists like yourself for food at the market.
Order food from a Bostontonian man with a thick north eastern accent.
Ahh..sweet buttery bun embracing the fresh, salty, & chewy lobster flesh.
Where the Boston Massacre occurred
Another random book store!
The start of the freedom traill
Details
Where Ben Franklin was buried - and a bunch of other important ass people you can find in the US history textbooks.
In front of Hancock's (inappropriate) long phallic tomb. ok. im immature. leave me alone. but really John, why are all the relics of you so freaking ...big -like your huge-ass signature on the declaration of independence that took all of the space? Jeesh
Iron works.
More iron
Zach took this photo.
This man has his own exhibit at the museum. He sits here for several hours a day making toy boats.
He reminds me of the toy repair man in ToyStory 2. hehe
