So
the last weekend in June, me and my buddy Dan went up to the Boston
area to stay with a friend who we haven't seen in quite a long time. He
lives in a town west of Boston and south of Cambridge, (which is where
Harvard University is located). If you have never been to the Boston
area, I highly recommend it. Boston is home to the start of the
American revolution and home to a very deep and rich history. Many in
America are not used to Northeastern culture. Mass transit dominates,
just like most Northern cities, and use of the subway(or the T as it's
called in Boston) is the norm. There is no need for a car when you can
either ride a bike or pay $2 to go anywhere in the 20 mile area. We
ventured to Back Bay, and downtown Boston a few times. There are many
attractions in the city itself. Such as the largest Apple store in
North America, great restaurants, and gorgeously dank record shops. By
far my favorite place though is Harvard Square in Cambridge. This small
area with it's tiny cafe's, street musicians, and tobacco shops is cast
in the beautiful shadow of the surrounding Harvard University, the
oldest University in the US. I have some pics of the area, none which
are mine, but are from flickr.
