Boston is good, New York is better

Whew! Colonizing is time consuming! But fear not loyal readers, I've been storing up stories and pictures and they'll all spill forth in due time... Like when Michelle goes home and I have time to blog again.

So! in the meantime, Michelle and I have been hard at work in New York, but we'll get to all of that later becauses tonight I wish to speak of Boston.

Boston is beautiful. It's a true port town full of red brick and American history. I've never seen a town so aware of its own patriotism and so proud of its part in the convoluted, yet noble, beginnings of our country. Just being there, you can't help but feel stronger ties to your identity as an American, and proud of the brilliant and colorful people who were both brave and crazy enough to take on the most powerful empire in the world.
As compared to New York, Boston seemed very small and very clean.
The photographic evidence...
Beautiful Boston Commons:
Charles river...
ENEMY TERRITORY...
Harbor at dusk...
Harbor at night...
Harbor with me and Michelle blocking the view...
In conclusion, I liked Boston, I really did, but I'm still glad that I live in New York.

The night harbor is beautiful!!! Did you go to Cambridge? That's my favorite. And you're spot on about the Patriotism. It's a magical little place Boston...but we rock NYC the way it was meant to be! :)
