toto, we're not in kansas anymore...

If you would have told me 5 years ago that I would be living in a city like Boston I probably would have said something like, "HA never...did you bump your head." Now, here I am. Back then life was a lot different. My weekends consisted of fishing, drinking around bonfires, off-roading, and playing basketball. Not until all the milking and feeding down at Johnny's was finished of course!

I don't know if its just because Boston is soo different from Red Lion, or if it's just the rush of the new job and the excitement that it is presenting. The city is like a high, and I love it :-)

 Things I love about Boston so far :

• 
  
  There is coffee, or beer, on every block
• 
  
  A random merry-go-round on the street corner (no pink ponies though ;-)
• 
  
  Most of the side streets are still brick
• 
  
  There is always a festival or show going on. Last weekend it was ahts (most normal people would say arts) festival, and yes I even watched the Boston Ballet. It was actually incredible!
• 
  
  When I sat in the park with my coffee and bagel on Sunday morning there was a man playing hymns on the sax
• 
  
  There is always something to be a part of. On 9/11 I helped at a tent that was set up downtown to make care packages for the troops overseas. I also got to do a walk for SPCA that I randomly came across in the park.
• 
  
  Sitting on Long Wharf watching the sail boats and the outside seal display at the aquarium, yes usually with coffee.
• 
  
  Running on the trail that follows the Boston harbor

It is truly amazing to me that in the midst of busy city with a million things going on at once... there is still a way to relax and find peace.
