Sight-seeing

This weekend I did more exploring of the city. Went to Fenway off the Greenline to do some shopping at BBB during the no tax weekend. Of course it happened to be game day, so the streets were packed. I can't wait to see my first sox game.

Kara, who is doing work up in CT right now, drove down on Saturday night. Driving in Boston is quite a task. Lots of ones ways, no street signs, and when there are street signs the name of the street changes depending on when neighborhood you are in. Next time she'll take the train.

We went out for some drinks at some bars in Cambridge and met folks from all over. Lots of nerdy engineers from MIT.

The next morning we went to Jazz Brunch at Johnny D's and caught the T into downtown. We spent the day touring around starting with the Freedom Trail. A red line on the sidewalk that takes your through miles of historical sites of the American Revolution. For example: the spot where the Boston Massacre happened (only 5 were killed), the old state house, and the balcony where the Constitution was written for the first time.

We then checked out the great architecture of churches, libraries, and other buildings in the downtown. We walked through Boston Common and the beautiful tree lined Commonwealth, caught some Indian Food and headed back because my stomach was upset.

Early to bed, early to rise. This morning I have an interview for a job during the school year working in the alumni office. It's 8 hours a week. No big deal, but my current position is only temporary.
