oh what a weekend. saturday it was such a beautiful day, i grabed my minolta camera, put some film in, hopped into my car and drove. i went up a half hour or so north to this country store i heard about. went in thinking i'll buy a couple things, but the prices were so obscene that i was shocked. 8.50 a pound for licorice is just unreasonable. i took the scenic way home, stopping at every farm stand i could find. i have such a weekness for fresh off the tree apples, and homemade pies.
that night, i got all dolled up and went with some friends down to northampton, ma. i've been there before to go shopping so i didn't know where we were going to go bar hopping. we started off in this brewery where they had purple haze on tap. never had it before that night and i am a fan, and to add to it, if you bought it, you were donating to katrina help. after a beer, we headed to another bar to go play pool. since none of us could really play pool, it was kinda hilarious hahah. for the third bar, we were going to go to a place where we could dance, but northampton had some rule about not being let into a bar after 1 am, even though they close at 2. so after being locked out of every bar in town, we got in the car and drove the hour home.
i got to bed around 2 am, woke up around6:30 and headed to boston with a friend from work, her housemate, and her housemate's friends. me and my friend from work met up with my friend from school, had lunch and proceeded to walk boston armed with my trusty pop out map of boston and my digital camera. we started at macy's, walked to quincy market (lunch), the aquarium (the sea lions were the cutest), state street, boston common, public garden, newbury street (wish i had the bank account to really shop there), cobly park (that church is amazing), we said goodbye to my friend, boyston street, tremont street, and back to macy's. It was such a nice day to be walking around town, seeing the boston sites. i got my fortune told by some woman sitting on a stool in the middle of the side walk. only time will tell how accurate she was, but she did hit some things right on the money... it was scay. i just really love the architecture of boston. having the old historic buildings just dwarfed by the sky scrappers. gothic gargoyles next to contempary office buildings, it is just awesome. we were planning on staying for the fireworks, but by the time we made it back to macy's at 5:30 we were just exhausted, so we got on the T to start heading back to vermont. got home, passed out.
good weekend :-)
