Two Cents and a Thousand Words

Lessons learned in Boston (volume 2)

• 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.
• 
• 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.
