Lessons learned in Boston (volume 3)
- There’s a baseball team in Boston that’s making a heck of a lot of money on merchandising.
- The Downeaster has gotten more popular.
- Micro and nano caches (see 7th row down) are hard to find.
- There’s a really cute duck in the Boston Public Gardens named Mallory.
- Crosswalk signs should not sound like sparrows.
- The Purple Cactus has really good (and healthy!) Mexican food.
- If you want a single experience that will cover a lot of American history, visit or even drive through Lawrence, Massachusetts. You might even pick up some Spanish.
- If you’re a person who has never been away from a 96.9% white state, visit Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts for an amazing immersion in diversity.
- Staying up for 20 hours straight when you drive for four and a half, ride a train for five and a half, and walk in a big city for probably 3 or 4 just doesn’t work.
- Some risks are definitely worth taking. (“The remedy is the experience … I won’t worry my life away“)
- Being in the city for a day is as therapeutic as taking a long vacation. Or maybe it’s just having nothing to do and someone to do it with.
- A day trip, though short, can be one of the few best trips of your life.
Thanks, Melody.
