Lessons learned in Boston (volume 2)

October 10, 2005
  • It’s a nice place to visit.
  • Driving down isn’t that bad… and it seems shorter from Portland to Boston than from Bangor to Portland.
  • Having a car when you need one rocks.
  • The Green Line still sucks.
  • huttle buses suck (this time from North Station to Science Park and Lechmere).
  • I want an Apple Store closer to me.
  • Walking in the rain from Quincy Market to Hanover Street in the rain (especially when you don’t know where Hanover Street is) is annoying but fun to laugh at afterwards.
  • Having a laptop and a properly-functioning camera is nice.
  • It’s tough to find a map around Quincy Market.
  • On the Border is awesome.
  • The chocolate lava cake at The Chart House is even more excellent than their apple/raspberry tart.
  • Street performers don’t perform in the rain.
  • Penguins at the New England Aquarium
  • I wouldn’t want to live there.
  • I really love hanging out with my friends.

…and as a bonus…

  • Individuals can be really stupid.
  • While walking through Boston, it’s definitely helpful to have either someone who knows the city or who can find his or her way around.
  • Interactive exhibits at the Museum of Science are cool.
  • Damn, there are a lot of Starbucks.
  • Lots of Bostonians have iPods.
  • Go to the Improv Asylum. Now. Before you get punched in the throat.
