24 Hours in Boston

Boston

September 2014

Me and J

By British Airways

Stayed at The Langham

What I read:

Women in Clothes by Sheila Heti, Heidi Julavits and Leanne Shapton

The gist of it:

J and I flew to the states for a week for some New England time with my family and my cousin’s wedding (!). We decided to spend 24 hours in Boston on the way up to New Hampshire, so J could see the sites and so I could see a few old friends.

I haven’t spent much time in Boston as an adult. It’s a beautiful city, filled with Irish bars as J noted. When we arrived we went to Bostonia for drinks and appetizers. The food was only ok, considering how expensive it was, but the live music was really fun.

The next day we wondered through Boston common down to Newbury street then back to the waterfront and we went to Legal Seafood for lunch. It’s the same as I remember! We then stopped by Cambridge to see Harvard and the bride and groom to be for a coffee before driving to NH.

Oh America.
