I ventured into Boston, one of Jet Blue’s hubs with my All-You-Can-Jet-Pass. Luckily for me, friend of adventure, Aliya Caler lives there. Without here there would be no The Adventure School so it was a special treat to spend a few days exploring her new home. Ye olden olde-timeyness of one the oldest cities in the USA lends itself to an especially quirky brand of iPhonetography, so brace yourselves for some flicks ala my Camera Bag app. My first stop was the Massachusetts State House. Aliya works for Massacusetts State Representative Jeffrey Sanchez, so I go to tour his offices and see what is up with the chair of the Massacusetts Joint Committe on Public Health. Aliya and her office mates help their boss consider “all matters concerning the public health of the Commonwealth and such other matters as may be referred”. Cool!
Then it was time for me to hit ye olde dusty Freedom Trail! After several hours and 16 historical sites, the history I was so compelled by in the third grade was enlivened once again. Good on ya, Boston for keeping history brewing right alongside today’s workaday world.
These were some crab traps filled with Christmas lights. I think this is a good party tip. The Barking Crab, home of aforementioned crab pot lamps was fun, near the ICA and served up UNLIMITED ARNOLD PALMERS. This is my dream, as my drink of 2009 has got to be the delicious combination of Lemonade and Iced Tea. Booyah.
I became interested in taking a photo of this young kid wearing his Harvard tee in all his back to school glory on the Harvard campus but then I got shy, so here is his back. He looked very scholarly, ambitious and filled with autumnal hope/enthusiasm. I liked it. I also like the chairs.
This store across from Harvard Yard, Leavitt and Peirce is apparently 126 years old and is very aesthectially akin to The Adventure School (in my mind), or I should say The Adventure School is very Leavitt and Peirce? Anyways, it is filled with real old timey implements for sport and beauty. Not to mention a motherlode of old footballs from important Harvard games. Maybe next time I am in Boston I will go to Cheers or at least buy some RedSox memorabilia. Thanks Aliya and Travis for being such incredible hosts! I will go candlepin bowling soon! Leave a Reply |
