My travels begin today, May 17th, the last day of reading period.  I am currently sitting in a hallway in tropical William James Hall, while the natives (Asians) are taking part in some sort of tribal ritual (my study).  I will continue my immersion into this culture by attending some sort of primal scream later.  Pictures will follow.  This month will continue with toga parties, weddings, maybe a trip to the beach.  Please keep reading, my summer vacation pro...

This trip was a last minute plan with my 2 friends that live in D.C. They are now my official travel buddies. We got there Friday around midnight and returned Sunday evening... I liked this city very much. I was surprised to see that there wasn't much of a late-night life in Boston. It was on a rush to get around town only Saturday but we covered the basics: freedom trail + Cambridge and the Public Garden.

Driving around my beautiful state of New Jersey, and beyond.

Went and got some Boston lobster at a place called Summer Shack, which was pretty good. Prices weren't as good as Cape Cod's, but oh well. Aftewards we caught a movie at theater called Tell No One (Ne le dis a personne) at a theater called Kendall Square that seems to specialize in Indie/Foreign flicks. On a side note, I think we're starting to figure this city's roadways out - only got lost 5 times today.

Celebrating my best friend's 30th birthday in Boston.

Cambridge is just across the Charles River from Boston. It's like 5 minutes walk crossing the river. the first time I went to Cambridge, I took The T, where I wasted 2 bucks when I could just walk:( If you are staying in the HI hostel (the year-round HI), MIT is just a stone's throw away. I had a nice short walk to MIT and back to hostel before the 7am (free hehe) hostel breakfast.

Because life is a trip, I'm chronicling the whole thing here. In a year where I've traveled to 18 great American cities, it's about time to show you where I've been! I just got a new camera, so from here on you'll be able to see where I went.

Boston is my favorite city, and I should live there, but I can't afford it. So I just go there a lot, instead.

We walked around Cambridge for a bit.  We went to a great tea shop named Tealuxe, and did a bit of shopping.  Cambridge is a great area for people-watching.  I love sitting around and watching pretentious preppy kids prance around.

I found a $200 flight (RT) in the dead of Winter and decided to visit my first city on the East Coast. Who can turn that down? I didn't go on the duck tour, but I lucked out and had moderate weather (dry even) and explored the historical sites by day and nightlife in the pm. Very impressed with the city and accessibility to various sites via the 'T'. I even caught a Celtics game. Good times!
