Beantown: A Boston Photo Diary

I had the best time in Boston visiting a good friend from college. The last two times I traveled to the Boston/Cambridge area were for the annual Yale/Harvard football game and were extremely brief visits, and the time before that I was a toddler so I don’t remember the trip at all! I didn’t have a lot of things planned and left our itinerary in the hands of my very capable friend, who was a wonderful guide. Boston definitely has a more relaxed pace than NYC and it was great to slow down a little and explore a new city.

  1. I’ve been once, for a conference. We got to do a little sightseeing, but not enough. I’d love to go back someday for a proper vacation!

    I have never been to Boston but goodness, it is so pretty there! I love the trees (especially the one in the second photo) and buildings. Did you pick up anything while you were there?

      I tried to be very careful with my spending, but I did pick up a little notebook at the store Black Ink! :)

    Newbury street, of course. In my dreams, I live in one of those brownstones.

  6. Did you end up going to Tia’s? Hah, in another life, that is where I met the Mr! He was all, living the North End/young finance guy dream until that fateful night. Glad you enjoyed the city!!
