Ashley and Molly do Boston

Well, Molly has come and gone. It was so great to see her and be silly and laugh a lot.

I picked up Molly at the airport on Thursday night. Her flight was late and there was some construction on the subway so we didn't get back to my apartment until after midnight. I had to work all day Friday so Mols did the Freedom Trail while I was working. Then we met back up and got dinner and drinks at a pub in JP with some of my co-workers. It was a fun time - Equal Exchangers are funny.

On Saturday, Mols and I got up and headed into downtown Boston and I showed her some of my favorite Boston spots. We then went to the Isabella Gardner Museum. Isabella was an extremely wealthy art collector who left it in her will that her house had to stay exactly as it was when she died. So now it's a museum and the place is gorgeous! There's a huge courtyard in the middle of the house and art and antiques everywhere. Sadly, we weren't allowed to take photos. Our final stop was Cambridge/Harvard Square before we went back to my apartment. We made a quick wardrobe change and then went to a co-worker's house for a pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving dinner. It was all vegetarian and soooo good. I haven't eaten so much food since I got to Boston! We had a great time chatting with Equal Exchangers again.

We were pretty tired from the day's walking so we went home after a few hours. Then I had to take Molly back to the airport first thing this morning. I was so exhausted that I took a 2.5 nap this afternoon.

I've officially been in Boston for two months now, although it feels like I've been here longer! I am so glad I am here.

Of course, I miss you all!
