How amazing!
Secondly,...First off, congrats Nick! How amazing! <br /><br />Secondly, I am still very much in love with Boston. The food, the museums, how you can practically walk anywhere, and you can meet some incredible people. There's a good amount of transplants in Boston, so it makes for some wonderful and random conversations and culture. <br /><br />One time I found myself at dinner with an Argentine couple, both astrophysicists, who had just returned from sailing around the world in a sailboat. Random, right?<br /><br />Boston does not have the sweetness or hospitality of the South, but it's a great experience. Boston was very good to me and I can only hope that it will be even better for you guys.ohpiegoodness.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09474848511545923187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832748644398583871.post-42484536884079080212010-04-27T23:40:43.360-04:002010-04-27T23:40:43.360-04:00Museums, Italian in the North End, Chinese in Chin...Museums, Italian in the North End, Chinese in Chinatown, springtime cherry blossoms in the Common, the river walk along the Charles on summer nights, window shopping on Newbury Street, hourly Bolt buses to New York, bars, and me.Julbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03065473916853951443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832748644398583871.post-24712206628768233742010-04-18T11:16:09.342-04:002010-04-18T11:16:09.342-04:00Think about all the new grocery store and couponin...Think about all the new grocery store and couponing adventures you're about to have!

You'll love Boston: Museum of Fine Arts, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Haymarket open air market (it's a real market - not your typical overpriced anemic yuppie farmer's market), Salem (witches, Nathaniel Hawthorne's house), pizza in the North End, the Brazilian restaurants in Inman Square, the Jewish and Russian shops in Brookline. Plus, you may like that the average I.Q. of the person in the street is probably 30 points higher than some of the places you've lived (a consequence of the academic/medical/legal/scientific concentration in the Boston area).eekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05801878918915522226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1832748644398583871.post-16178703874147397142010-04-16T18:14:32.669-04:002010-04-16T18:14:32.669-04:00Erin--I am very comforted by the idea of the origi...Erin--I am very comforted by the idea of the original Cheers.
