Dear Boston

To be honest, I have a bias towards you. I have family here so it always gives me warm feelings when I arrive within your city limits.

Your city, while holding many monuments, is not a tribute to the past. It is an example of change, progressiveness and revolution. I found myself standing on history while feeling like history is still being made. It was a strange connection to the past and present that I cannot quite communicate in words.

2 hours later, enjoying a downpour! My boyfriend through gritted teeth was saying, “this is not the time for selfies!”

Don’t get me wrong, you’re not all wonderful things. Although your weather doesn’t suck, it is *complicated.* It’s indecisive. It can’t decide if it wants to be unbearably hot, pleasantly cool, or let it rain. I seem to experience all these changes three times a day. Make up your mind will ya?!

And your driving sucks. There is a reason you guys are referred to as “massholes.”

Yes, yes, you can tell me all you want that you are the only ones in the country that know how to properly drive, but holy whack driving Batman, I don’t think so! You guys wouldn’t need to honk so much if you were! Granted, the pedestrians don’t make things any easier by jaywalking in the most stuuuupid places.

But hey, you know what? My boyfriend now wants to live here. Can you imagine? What are you doing to my life?!

I will always come back to you. You do have a piece of my family and therefore a piece of my heart. But for the love of god, use your blinkah.

Love, Kristen

PS. I will not park the car in Harvard yard.

    Awesome!!

  • Lol you made me giggle! I visited Boston a couple of years ago and loved it! It was neat to see how different the various neighborhoods were

    • The city is fantastic! I was particularly obsessed with the Italian part of town! Mikes pastries and pizza. That’s a neighborhood full of winners! Ha!

      • Yes we had dinner and gelato there one night. We went a block past Mike’s to another place, but I can’t remember the name of it right now.
