Boston

Well, ya'll, it's blog update time again, and this time I am backtracking to that time that several volunteers went to Boston together. And I think I shall tell the story in photos.



To get to Boston, we went with the train. Here is Sam waxing at the train station.


This is the first picture I took when we got off of the train. My favorite thing about Boston is how it is an incredible combination of super old and crazy new architecture.




This red brick building was sandwiched between two snazzy new skyscrapers. It had an intense feel to it, like it was the lone building that had a landlord who wouldn't sell out, or the only place in the middle of downtown that was legally acquired through squatting. Check out the faces that appear wheat pasted across the top of the brick before the rows of windows.



Arthur is hiding in this picture.


This is an awesome dragon sculpture that was build into a set of stairs.


Everyone had this gleeful beer hunting look at the brewery that we went to visit, the Harpoon brewery.

See?


There were quite a few giant lobsters outside of restaurants in Boston.


All of this beer at the Harpoon brewery was being wasted. This was all trash. WHAT-A-WASTE.


This was a quote from a memorial sidewalk that I really enjoyed.


This building was epic. Look at how tiny the people are and how huge the building is. The memorial sidewalk was surrounding this area.


Another example of the many fine lobster statues in front of the many restaurants in Boston.


In short, the trip was fantastic. Boston is a great city.
