On my own

Today was my first day in Boston all by myself.  I do miss my dad and brother, but it was a nice slow paced day.  As I was walking the streets of Harvard Square today, I realized this is the first time I have truly ventured out on my own.  My move to Hattiesburg was semi by myself; however, I knew that 2 of my roomies were Auburn fans, so it was just an extension of my Auburn family.  So far, I am enjoying the new life up here, and I hope to keep experiencing new things.

As I said, today was a slow paced day.  I slept in until 10:00 and then took my time getting ready.  I ventured into Harvard Square to do some exploring.  There are soooooooo many neat little stores in the area.  I would describe it as a downtown Auburn on steroids (for those of you familiar with Auburn).  It's a good thing I will be busy with work most of the time, because shopping is fabulous here!  I went in a used record store, a used book store, a cool shoe store(which had Uggs for 20% off but I resisted), Urban Outfitters(my all time fav), and a few other stores along the way.  I ended up getting a new shirt for work on Monday and a few souvenirs to send to a few people.  The weather was awesome, not too hot and a nice breeze with very little humidity.  Then I headed back home, and had a lazy afternoon/evening.  The breeze coming in through the windows was so nice that I curled up on the couch with a book.  Ahhh, it is been such a relaxing day after a few weeks of craziness!

As promised, I charged my camera and took a few pics of the house.  Hope you enjoy them:

If you recall the story about my dad and the neighbor, this is the door he walked in!

Well that is about it for my day today.  I am going to continue enjoying the weather and my book!  Story for the day:  I think I am beginning to appear to be a native Bostonian, because I was asked 3, yes 3, times for directions today!  And. . . . I was actually able to tell the people where to go!!  Once they heard me talk I am sure they realized I was not from here, but I felt special anyway just being asked!

Until next time!
