Ashley and Jamie in the city!

I'm working in Boston this summer at a summer camp for children with autism. Ashley and Jamie were able to ride up with me, though I drove the 7 hours on my own. I definitely have a new respect for big Gary and anyone else who has to make this drive with a quick turn around. There is no way I would drive this roundtrip in a weekend! (At least not just yet!)

The three of us got to Boston in the afternoon and after checking in to their hotel, we met the Huangs in Chinatown for dinner. A long day of driving left us pretty tired, so we went back and planned to tour the city in the morning. We drove to Kaity's house (Ashley and Jamie's next location) then walked to the T. Once downtown we took the Old Town Trolley tour and saw most of the hot tourist spots. We lunched at P.F. Changs and then viewed the city from the Top of the Hub, the second tallest building in Boston. It was just a taste of the city, but everyone seemed to have a good time. I think Boston will always be special to them anyway...

Below are some photos of the trip. Enjoy.

Summer in New York City

I am now living in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood, where Bob Dylan, Norman Mailer, Truman Capote and a host of others have lived. It is very cool and happening. I commute into school each day by subway to the CUNY Graduate Center on Fifth Avenue. I study Greek there all day and then go home to Brooklyn and study Greek all night. I like the people in the program and the instructors are friendly and personable and I'm learning Greek with amazing rapacity. I really like New York thus far. I've been splitting dinner between the pizza place and Chinese Restaurant right next to my building and have managed to find some time to stroll around the neighborhood, go to a movie and to see Vampire Weekend today at Central Park Summerstage. It rained hard nearly the entire time, but it was still a great time. There are some pics of the family in Brooklyn Heights, my walk to school on 34th Street from 7th Avenue to 5th Avenue, the Summerstage concert, and my walk back to the Lexington Ave. subway stop past Madison and Park Avenues. Don't worry about getting all the streets straight. Just check out the pictures. Some are pretty neat.


Lauren just added some of her pics as well, check them out!
