Day 4- Boston

This morning I awoke with the sound of Ms. Vogel saying, "Hunny are you alright?" Well it was 8:45am and normally I have been getting up around 7am so she wanted to make sure I was ok. Well I was, and I leaped outta bed got dressed and headed out for a day on the town. She wanted to make sure I was OK before leaving for her morning yoga class. Such a sweet lady. I then walking about 6 miles all around the city thru the garden, to Paul Revere's tomb, Cheers bar (where everybody knows your name) and shopped at TJ Maxx for shoes... To much to my surprise I found a pair of clearance books black leather and so comfy for $19.99. So I purchased. After having lunch and walking abit thru the park it started to sprinkle. Luckily while in NYC I had bought an umbrella, which I quickly snached from my handbag with a confident look of overpreparedness on my face. The rain started to clear after 10 mins or so and the sky was beautiful again. That old saying from Mark Twain about New England's weather was surreal, " If you are not happy about the weather than wait a minute," describing the constant change in their weather. I LOVE Boston now. Tomorrow is my last day here and I am sad to go. I am not sure what tomorrow holds as of yet but I am sure it will be memorable.

Today I also realized a small fact. One month from today I will be 29. I really thought that I would be dreading it but all of these new experiences have really changed my outlook on life. Seize the day, is my new motto. Two weeks from now I will be driving to Washington DC to claim as my new home, with the car packed to the ceiling and my mother in tow life will start a new branch. Ecstatic of what that might entail.
