Beantown Part Deaux
So I'm back in Boston, which has definitely been my favorite place on the road. I was able to make a visit to Boston Unversity and am currently at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (aka M.I.T.) The chapter house is two blocks away from Fenway, and a street over from the big Citgo sign that is a landmark in Boston. I tried going to a Celtics game this past Friday, but they were asking for $150 at the door. Ridiculous. So my buddy Adam and I ate pizza and walked back to his place instead. This past weekend, I stayed in the Radisson Downtown Hotel and stayed on the top floor (24th) My room had a balcony that overlooked the city. It was awesome, but once again I only had myself to share it with. That's what the camera is for.
A few years ago, when I was in Wales studying, one of my younger cousins did this activity in elementary school called Flat Stanley. Many of you have probably done it, but for those who haven't here's a rundown. The story is that this cartoon character got smashed somehow and now he is just an outline on a piece of paper. The goal is for the kids to send Flat Stanley to someone who can take pictures with him next to famous landmarks. I hooked up my cousin by taking Flat Stanley all around Europe. Well his little sister is now in that grade and I received Flat Stanley from her. Being in Boston, I took some time to dress Flat Stanley up in a markered Boston Red Sox uniform. Today I walked over to Fenway, and the Tripple A mascot for the RedSox was outside of the stadium. Flat Stanley had his pic taken with the mascot in front of the new 2004 World Series Champion banner. Good stuff.
For all of you who haven't been to Boston, make sure to get here. I would love to live here in the city for a few years later in my life, because it is so unique and sports fans are top notched. There is much history, and you can't ask for more landmarks and tourist stuff. For me, it's heaven. I spent Easter walking the streets and doing everything. I did celebrate Easter by going to an Irish pub and eating Corn Beef and Cabbage. Wrong holiday, but great food. M.I.T's chapter house is the old Lieutenant Governor's house and is worth approximately $8 million. It looks like a typical Boston high rise and it is very narrow. Quite the location.
