The weather here has been a bit of a disappointment: rain, more rain, and a rather chilly wind. It's put a bit of a damper on our plans, no swan boats at the Commons this weekend, but it's still been great to spend some time with my family.
Yesterday, we spent most of the day cooking a turkey, but today we ventured out into the elements. I spent I most of the day curled up in the MIT COOP reading The Other Boleyn Girl while everyone else did some serious bargain hunting.
The COOP is one of those places I would go Christmas shopping if I won the lottery. I might, in fact, buy everything in the place. There's a little bit of everything, something for everyone, and it seems, somehow, that one thing you were looking for. Had I not started The Other Boleyn Girl the other night, I probably would have spent an hour or two settling on a book to read.
Later tonight we're headed out for half price burgers at The Pourhouse. It seems only fitting after a day didn't bargain hunting.
Number of times the gps has been wrong: 5
ETA: Dinner was an interesting experience given the fact there was a Bruins game on. I haven't a clue how it ended, we didn't stick around that long, but it was entertaining to watch.
After dinner we stopped by Trader Joe for some seaweed snacks and them walked the end of the marathon route on our way home. There's so many things I want to say, but don't have the words to express. It was a sobering experience and yet at the same time one of pride, given how beautifully Boston has pulled together as a community.
It was a nice walk, a peaceful walk, one that felt perfect and wrong at the same time. We walked by the mammoth public library with hardly a second thought, but paused in other places, to stop and think, to wonder.
