Boston

I took off for Boston the day school ended. My friend Coco goes to BU and had another week of finals left so I slept on her floor and wandered around before heading back to Long Island on the 22nd. I have never spent more than a day or two in Boston at any given time and I never had much freedom to wander so it was a new experience for me.



I felt really uncomfortable for the first few days just because it is such a different city than New York. It's also very tiny. After going accross the river to Cambridge I started feeling a lot better about the place though. The overall experience reminded me of my first trip to the United Kingdom. So much was the same but all of the cars were different and this for some reason made me feel really unsettled. In Boston I think it was how every building is really old and beautiful and a lot of the people seem to be very similar.

The first night I was there we went to a craft fair called the Bazaar Bizzare
It was a whole lot of fun but everything seemed a little too expensive for me. That happens when you learn how to silkscreen and stuff though because you always think to yourself...well...I could make that. I never do make it but still, it makes it harder to spend money on crafty things.

I walked around Newbury St. and that whole area which was ok and after also saw two rare book shows at the Public Library which was pretty cool.

My friend Kirby met me in Cambridge one day and we went to the Fogg which had some really great stuff on display. We walked around Harvard a bit and I really liked the entire cambridge area more than the area around BU, it was just cozier and there seemed to be more diversity in the people. I kind of miss it there, I am not sure if I could ever really live there but who knows. I wouldnt put it at the very top of my list but its definitely up there. Lets say in the top 5.
