Bits of Boston :)

I've been meaning to post pics of my trip to Boston but i've been so caught up in other pics that i haven't just sat down and gone through them - well i still haven't -
these ones below are just ones i randomly selected and loved, so for the time being for friends and family that haven't seen any of the pics yet - i thought i'd give a little 'teaser' :)
I went up to visit my friend Sara who moved there last year. She was doing nurse traveling and Boston was her first assignment - she loved it so much, a permanent position opened, so she took it :) I could see why she feel in love with Boston! Me, I'm not a much of a city girl (neither is she) and i did miss my yard while i was there,
but everyone was so nice and there was just soo much to see.

I love history and find it so intriguing and there is an unimaginable amount of history up there.
I was there for nearly two weeks, at one point I was getting a little homesick, but when it came time to leave - I didn't want to go!!
One day while Sara slept off a twelve hr night shift at the hospital, I hopped on a bus - for the first time...then onto a subway...for the first....it was interesting, but i took the solo subway trip to Harvard to look around and see where i could've went if i applied myself (haha yeah, right) It was amazing to see, once again, the Historic buildings and then to look around and see that its all just normal college kids goin about their business, it was actually move-in week, I was glad cause there were lots of people out and about :)
A few of the other places we went and seen was Rockport MA, somewhere in New Hampshire (haha its late i can't remember), Newport R.I
ok i've gotta stop typing - here are the pictures :)



oops..this is the only Harvard pic i posted - but i love it :D

I think I was waitin for Sara to come pick me up from the sub station downtown cause i couldn't find a bus to get back to her house....haha
but there's a bit of the city ;)


the rest of his family had pigeons sitting on their heads too....
i like it.

I love this guy...looks like he just got off the jobsite and drinkin himself a beer (although i dont see it, i assume he is cause thats what i would do...and i think he's at a bar)

the north end - scooters galore
love the red and how its so "modern"

Very Interesting Character. I would have loved to have chatted with him but he seemed to be set on coming there sitting down, smokin his pipe and reading his book...
but i love this...

i couldn't get enough of him...haha i was discrete...dont worry.. except to the people that were pointing and laughing at me cause they seen me taking these pics..hahah

just an alley way :)

The North End...I love these buildings!
I feel like that pic could be mistaken for a pic taken 50 yrs ago.

This was Rockport - Sooooooo pretty :) I loved all the boats and we had PERFECT weather the whole time - minus in Cape Cod the one night i was there - i dont want to talk about it ;)

Love love love the colors here...That red...oh man love it.
And this is like people's backyard...just lovely

I want to go back there now and sit on those rocks, just simply sit.

Oh man that's it for now!
I hope you enjoyed :)
There are a TON more of pics to go thru
I still dont think i captured the city completely or could ever do it justice
more reason to make a visit back!!

Pipe guy is hilarious - not him, picture you skulking behind the trees with your camera. Love your dialogue between the photos. :)

"skulking" is exactly what i was doing...so nonchalantly too... I appreciate your comment :) no one ever leaves them, I almost forget that people CAN! thats just sad. haha
