Boston mocks me and I return the favor

The weather in boston was horrific in so many ways. It will be a long time before I can bring myself to go back there again. Josh's graduation from Boston University was pretty cool, but we almost didnt make it in time to see him walk due to traffic and weather.

Everywhere we went to catch the sights it was raining heavily, and by the time we left there was talk of closing interstates and roadways we might need to leave the Boston area.

How people can flourish under such conditions is beyond me, but the natives of Mass. are to be respected for their fortitude. The city of Boston itself seemed to grow out of a mass of conflicting and disorganized highways, in stark contrast to the beautifully constructed Tobin bridge and the Big Dig. The Big Dig is the common name for the large tunnel that runs underneath the city.

With our trusty Garmin GPS rented from Enterprise rent a car, we were able to make it through the city alive, and visited the following places.

• Harvard
• M.I.T.
• Tobin Bridge
• U.S.S. Constitution
• Bunker Hill visitors center
• Boston University

I do have to say that the T train system is very well constructed and if used properly can get you damn near anywhere. We used it on occasion and the only time we got lost was when we were given the wrong directions on how to reach Boston University. My Uncle informed us that we needed to get off at downtown station, which was completely and utterly wrong, so we had to take a cab all the way to Boston University. As the time clicked by in the cab traffic caused us to leave the cab and try running to the graduation. There we were the four of us in a mad dash with tons of other parents/friends of graduates running down the side of Commonwealth avenue. We arrived approx twenty minutes late, but luckily for us the Keynote address was running long.

Congrats Josh. I know it isnt easy, but you did it! Congrats on your B.S. in Psychology.
