Boston - what a awesome city. I caught the Downeaster down on Friday morning and spent a wonderful day in the city with a long-lost friend. We walked, we talked, we ate, we shopped, we walked some more.
I am amazed at the history in Boston (now I shouldn't really be amazed because I DID study it in grade school), but somehow the past really comes to life when you wander the streets of Beantown.
My amazement also probably stems from my country-ways kind of life. City life with its corresponding noise, traffic and virtual assault on your senses is intense. I'm sure that's why Amtrak going down to Boston is a way to slowly build the intensity level -- (of course this could all be hooey and I should just "deal" with it.
Well here's to Paul Revere, Boston Commons and a great day in the city. Glad to be home, but always glad to venture away too.
