Rolled into Boston Late Friday night. The streets are laid out in a completely random ADD pattern that is confusing at best. I absolutely love an urban environment. Being able to walk to everything you need or catch the train to some other part of the city is very appealing to me. Of course you are completely screwed if there is some sort of disaster or epidemic due to the concentration of people. You'd never see the zombies coming for you.
I really wish Birmingham could have that urban feel to it but its way too disconnected from reality to make that kind of commitment to being a better "city". But, I digress.
Our friends took us just up the street to a tapas restaurant. Life experiences like these help me break out of my shell. The Chimay and Sangria helped that along I suppose. I really wish I could tell you the different foods we tried, but it was all a blur, I remember lamb sausage, croquettes, muscles steamed in ginger and garlic, rare filet in some kind of gravy, sangria, no the best sangria ever and, oh yeah, tiramisu.
I can't wait to see the Harvard/Princeton Football Game today. Should be fun.
roll tide!
Did David Allen Coe write "Please Come to Boston?" I hope so. One of my favorite songs EVER and one of my favorite talents. I'm loving this hugely adventurous thing you and Jenn are doing. And, living it la vida loco vicariously. Happy Weekend. THE POEMS ARE VERY COOL. Y'all are so faceted (read complicated). Best, Ben
