Day 1 - April 4
I caught my plane and spent most the day in the air. I left Salt Lake at 9:30 in the morning and landed in Boston at 4:30. I was a little nervous about flying and especially by myself because it had been 9 years ago to the month since I had flown. However I got on the flight just fine and sat by a cute old couple from Boston who told me things to do and see in Boston and the cute old guy reassured me every time we hit turbulence that we would be fine. Saharsh and his roommate Hemant picked me up at the airport in Boston and off we went for our adventure. We went back to their place in Ashland about a half hour from Boston. Then we got ready and went out for dinner at a little Mexican food place kind of like Cafe Rio. Then we went Salsa dancing with one of their friends Rupal. I was not looking forward to it but ended up having a total blast...who knew Salsa dancing was so fun it was a pretty good work out too! After dancing we went out to eat...I was totally amazed that restraunts were still open at 3 in the morning and that there were people everywhere...the city was still as awake as ever. We got home super late that night it was like 4.

Day 2
We slept in the next mornign after our super late night the night before. Saharsh and I went drove into Boston and took the duck tours around the city. The duck tours apparently are pretty famous and popular in Boston. They are some kind of vehicle that drives you all over town showing you all the sights and then drives right into the river and becomes a boat and you get to see all the sights from the river. It was a pretty cool way to see all the sights in Boston. I didn't get many pictures because for some reason my camera's battery decided not to last long. Afterwards we went and ate lunch at the Cheers restraunt and then went and got ice cream at J.P. Licks...it was the best ice cream I've ever had. It's a lot like Cold Stone and I got Oreo Cake Batter...it was to die for! Then we went and wandered around Harvard and then met up with a bunch of his friends for dinner. It was a fun filled busy day and I was exhausted by the time we got home that night. I didn't realize this would be a normal thing for this trip and by the time we got home each night I'd barely be able to hold my eyes open.
