Boston!

Sorry for the long time between posts, but I've been busy, and I'll try to write more as we move through the rest of this year.

This past weekend, I went to Boston to hang out with my friend Brian, so here's some photos of the weekend...

Here's Brian in his office, a few minutes after I arrived on Friday. From here, we went out and saw 'The Dark Knight,' which was excellent. Good storyline, and I would have never known it was Heath Ledger playing the Joker if it wasn't plastered all over the place...

Looking up Tremont Street in Boston, towards one of the old churches. One of my friends got married in that churck back in 2003 or so, it's a nice place. And, it was a beautiful day up there in Boston. Great driving up from New Jersey, and no real traffic problems, which was good.

That evening, Brian and I headed into Harvard Square, for a late dinner, and for this photo, which has a drug induced hippy feel to it... Do not take the brown acid!

The place is 400 years old, but yet they still build...

Back at Brian's. I scoff at the camera...

The next day, on Saturday, we headed back to Harvard Square. Across from Brian's, this cat was chilling out on the sidewalk. Pretty kitty!

Brian, his sister In, and I went to the Border Cafe, one of my favourite restaurants on the planet. And perhaps others too... I took this photo outside. I would have taken one inside, but the manager actually stopped me. I asked why, and he said that all the art and other things on the walls are custom made, and he's seen The Border's stuff show up in other restaurants. I thought it was a little extreme, not taking the photo, but hey, its his business, so I oblidged...

And what's a visit to Harvard Square without some street performers? Here's a guy with a nice little one man band setup going on... He had a shaker strapped to his foot, for a bit of percussion going on... No photo though, I didn't want to hang out taking photos of feet for that long...

On Saturday night, Brian and I just hung out at his place. I thought about going out, or contacting some other friends, but I was just too tired, and actually fell asleep for a bit... We are too exciting!

I was thinking of sticking around later on Sunday, to go to the beach with Brian for a bit, as he had some friends who were going to play beach volleyball, but I wanted to get back to NJ at a reasonable time. I'll hit Boston again sometime in the Fall, I'm sure...
