I have arrived safely in the continent known as America. Boston is unusual.
After sitting next to too ery friendly women on the plane, one who had lectured at UEA i got in and managed to negotiate my way through the transport system to Susie's workplace. Well, stuff here is big, I know that, but its the small things, like the pavement (sidewalk) or just the massive spaces. Theres a huge plaza in the middle of where susie works that is probably six times the size of liecster square. its mad to have that in the center of the city. So central Boston is okay, except I've only just started to get the swing of things in regards to crossing the street and not getting hit by a car!(It was simpler crossing in Ghana!). Susie lives in a beautiful area called Cambridge, the houses are lovely and MIT and Harvard are not far away, so theres tons of students and clever people knocking around. With the temperature (it was about 25 last night), walking around with everyone in outside cafes, it felt more like Europe that the US.
Central Boston reminds me of Sydney [extract from journal: 'the city is not so much caught between new and old, but the old lingers, in the subway, in the sandstone. The new, towers, in glass, polished and shinning'].
Anyway, going to pick up the bike today, although I still haven't figured out a name for her!!!
Over and Out
