Here are some photos of my stay in Boston which will tell you what I've been up to in the last few days. What you won't see is the theater performance Pam and I are going to see tonight: It's called "Bread and Puppet" and is done by seven puppeteers from Vermont who'll be accompanied by a local Boston brass band. And yesterday afternoon I saw a movie: "In Bruges", a rather violent thriller but with excellent acting and beautiful shots of the Belgian city. I also had a lovely dinner the other night in Brookline with my friend Mia, whom I met in Maine last summer, and today it's lunch with my dear friend Maura. As you can tell, I'm very lucky to have some great friends here, and I love Boston. It's a university ... read more

Geo: 42.3586, -71.0567So, slight detour/delay in my trip. My Grandmother fell and broke her leg over the holidays; she's been healing well, but slowly and is graduating from Physical Rehab Thursday. She couldn't manage the stairs at the old house, so my grandparents will be moving into a new condo with an elevator on Wednesday. Needless to say it'll be a pretty busy week for them with the move, and getting Mimi reacquainted back into normal life after three months in recovery.

I arrived at my hostel in the Back Bay area of Boston at 2am on Wednesday morning, after a 14 hour Greyhound trip which was no fun at all. I got up at 9am to cash in on the free breakfast, and then phoned a friend from Penn State who I knew was in Boston with another friend. Turned out they were both staying two doors down the corridor from me. I had a well earned shower and then headed to the middle of town, the Boston common, with Lois and Sam. The girls went shopping, and I went to the tourist booth at Boston common to start on the freedom trail historical tour of Boston. It was probably a couple of degrees below freezing, and there was snow everywhere. The whole common was covered in ... read more
