My Day in Boston
Hello! Today was my only day in Boston, so I wanted to make he most of it. However, I woke up at 8 am and did the whole computer thing on Anna's laptop. Then I was bored! Luckily, Gwen got up and messaged me and directed me to the correct room (I had no ideawhere anythingwas). Then people slowly but slowly got up. We managed to get out at about midday. I understand the reasons for this, they'd all been up late waiting for me, but I was antsy to go!
We briefly looked at computers in Costco (I've been to a Costco!) before heading off to Micro Centre. I got aToshiba Satellite, which is very nice and should do everything I want and yay! Many thanks to my wonderful Father for this. I also got a headset with microphone, a webcam and a security thing. Yay for tech! Having done this, the main task set out for the day we headed into Trader Joe's for some provisions. After this we went to a nice little Mexican place, where I had some good nacho's and everyone seemed pleased.
Jacob, our gracius guide and one of our hosts kindly gave a lift to Harvard Square before he went home. We wondered around shops and things, picking up a camera case and a few other little things. there was much St. Patrick's day regalia about, but no discounts for Irish people :p
We then went to very nice dessert place, 'Finale'. Anna, Dad and I got a cheesecake to share (getting that size being far cheaper than three individual verions) and Gavin got some Boston Cream cake. Very, very nice. We wondered around a (second comic book) and then went to find the T so we could get back. It's a good system and very easy to understand, especialy when one is well aquainted with the London Underground system. The bus was also fine, and luckily Anna recognised the stop where we needed to get off.
I haven't mentioned the snow! There's loads of snow here! It's beautiful, but leads to a whole lot of sludge, which we had to walk through on the way back. There were, of course, snowballs! We got back in good tme to a ouse full of people here for Gwen's house Concert. I met many new people, and was reacquainted with Persis and Talis :)
I then gave in and came to have some time away and set up my computer. I now have Skype (raft_tree), which is very cool, and I am happy muchly with this computer!
There have been many small children around while I write this which is both fun and noisy. And everything is good. Tomorrow, brunch in the Big Blue House and gong to Vermont!
