Taken For Granted: Boston

Awoken by a pothole on my way to Boston, in the low priced Fung Wah Chinatown bus, I see the John Hancock and Prudential tower in the distant horizon as the sun is setting down for a rest. I really never thought of how much I missed Boston, until returning last week for a visit. It was really great to see old roomates and friends that I have not spoken to in ages, and wished my stay could've been longer as I was not ready to leave Boston.

Why was this the case? Several Reasons:
Food - Anna's Taqueria (tried Chipotle the other day but going to side with Anna's in terms of cost and taste), Maggiano's, Roddee, and the list goes on (yes I contribute to obesity epidemic in America)
Landscape/Buildings - Boston appeared to be a downscaled version of NYC and thought it didn't compare. However, after being home for sometime now and comparing it to recent visit of Boston, it was amazing to see that the buildings in Boston were warmer with a more inviting atmosphere, saturated with history compared to NYC's typical ginormous industrial skyscrapers.
Things-to-Do - visited the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (nothing too exciting here, except for some Rembrandt and a beautiful courtyard filled with many wild orchids)

Don't you hate it when you can't take pictures in a museum or take a piece of that museum home with you in the form of kilobytes or megabytes, and then you just want to put that camera to use by whipping that camera out and taking pics of the first thing you see after stepping outside of the museum?! This was the case after visiting this museum. So I rushed out of the museum and started shooting up the environment with my digi cam. Well these are pics I took, with my trigger happy camera index finger. Exciting, eh!?
