More Boston...

Soo... more Boston!

Day number 2 in Boston I got up late and we made our way into Boston at lunch time. Stopped at a sushi`/ korean restaurant on the way. First shot at a SUSHI place and it was soooooo good! We got the buffet which was all really tastey. I filled my plate up and demolished it pretty fast. Went up for some fresh fruit and then I was done. Yummmyyyyy... :)

From there, Joanna and I went to the Boston museum of science and to the planetarium there. We learnt about "exo" planets. It was very fascintating. There is soooo much out there. Parts of it really scared me - just the incredible universe we live in. There is so much of earth that I now take for granted but a place like Jupiter - like HOW could God create that. He is just SUCH an incredible creator. So creative! SO breath-taking. Jupiter scared me a little. The video took you below the clouds and the storms and gas and freezing winds really got me scared. And then we saw some other solar systems and other milky ways. They've discovered a couple of planets that rotate around other suns. How cool is that!? I just don't think about what is beyond our earth, but at least I know about the other planets. Imagine what is beyond there! It's amazing!

Went to the exhibition after that which was really cool. Loads of fun experiments. Optical illusions and fun facts! The museum closed at 5 so we ran in for some post cards at the shop and then drove over to TD Gardens. We were going to a Celtics Basketball game. Sooooo much fun!  We got pretty good seats, right up at the top. SO we could see all the activity below. It was a pre-season game so wasn't packed. And they were playing the Toronto Rapports(or something like that!).  I took loads of pictures which I will post up some of soon. We won! :) And I am now a Celtics fan. Their mascot is a leprechaun who was HILARIOUS! Joanna thought he had ADD becuase he was running all over the place, jumping over everything, high-fiving everyone and just having a whale of a time. He had an incredible amount of energy.

Home after.

Next day, woke up late, computer... a slow, restful start.. Talked to the fam on the phone which was great. Made it round everyone which is always nice. Heard about Rory's social and after social and Sheona's social and Katie's life and all else. It's always fun to hear all their news. After a lunch of curry we headed off again. Didn't get into Boston until just before 5 and got the train to Harvard Square. Had a look around, bought a hoody, saw Harvard University, ate some pizza, window shopped, laughed a LOT!, went to the first library(it apparently has rats! but is verrrryyy beautiful), went to an amazing ice cream place (brownie dough ice cream with cookie dough on top.. mmhhhmmmm... so good!) and then headed off home. Boston is a really beautiful city! So many stunning old buildings! For this sesh in Boston, Joanna's friend Carissa joined us. That was a lot of fun! We all had a really good time together, well at least I had a really good time with them both. :)

Home for bed!

And then up the next morning at 6am to head into Boston for my flight at 9am. And onto Harrisburg, PA. :)
