shipping up to boston (day one)

we stepped off the train on xmas day to find the streets deserted. shops closed, cars parked, it felt like a ghost town. the streets were clean though, and buildings looked new and bright. it's no wonder why boston is among the best cities to live in.





next up, a walk in boston commons, a public park.

some statue standing atop a pillar in the center of the park. i don't know who the statue is supposed to represent, or its significance, but it looks cool.

colorful lights! big green trees! my xmas presents were conspicuously missing.

more dazzling lights!

cabbages in the city.are.weird. why cabbages? they're cute anyway.

it seemed like i was being stalked by paparazzi. oh, the pitfalls of being a popular blogger.

the massachusetts state house.

a really interesting and colorful night group shot in boston commons.

the lights, the horses, the carriages, but where was the snow? not that i love the cold (i hate it), but snow would really up the romantic factor a lot. well, it wasn't a huge loss, since there wasn't a person around to romance anyway.
