Haven't had sufficient Internet in a while.

Its been a little while... we haven't been able to find good Internet.

Today is our last official day in Boston, however we are going to sleep here tonight. We are headed to Exeter library in New Hampshire and possible Portland, Maine tomorrow. Boston was a fun city, with.. WEATHER. We got to visit Southie and visit local Irish owned pubs, Downton Boston where we went to the oldest bar in America and the Green Dragon where the Boston Tea Party was planned; Harvard, MIT, and other parts of Boston. We enjoyed a huge chocolate dipped, ricotta cannoli from Mike's Pastry in North End, Taylor sketched some of his favorite architect's work (Steven Holl, Simmon's Halls MIT) and we had fun wandering around the T Subway, which is the oldest subway system in America.

I haven't had a chance to talk about Greensboro, NC, D.C., or Connecticut. All were amazing of course. We had amazing hospitality in Greensboro from Sheila and Grandma Blair. We got a chance to see a little of Greensboro where my dad grew up. Washington D.C. was a whirl-wind. We went out with a local and got to see parts of D.C. we probably would have never seen. We enjoyed our bike ride from Georgetown along the canal, eating amazing D.C food and visiting the different monuments and memorials. Old Greenwich, CT was absolutely beautiful. All the Cape Cod looking houses with all the green foliage made me feel home away from home. We stayed with Taylor's uncle and plan to return after tomorrow for our stay in New York (Old Greenwich is a 40 min train ride outside of Manhattan).

I could write pages and pages on our different experiences in Greensboro, D.C., Connecticut and Boston, but there is so little time and we are on our way out for the day.

Pictures, etc will be coming soon.

Until next time!!
