They live up in Somerville, part of Greater Boston, near Davis Square - a very hipster-like area with plenty of little shops and lots of young people.
We had a blast and loved that ikea offers home delivery within 75 miles. In fact, there's a grocery delivery service that only costs $6.95! That might negate us hauling bags and bags of groceries home on the T!
Everybody offers free delivery here because most people probably don't have cars. There are tons of things that are offered free on Craigslist if anybody can haul them away.
Tom informed us that we'd need to include "wicked" in our vocabulary, and that he did, in fact, call drinking fountains "bubblers." Apparently people call soda/pop tonic, too. Gotta blend in!
We also had plans to meet up with friends at the Baseball Tavern to watch the game between the Red Sox and the Yankees. That brought out the crowds and frustrated our T driver - he was yelling at people to form lines inside the train or he was going to miss his light - they were slowin' him down! Other passengers were giving the driver a hard time and being so jovial about it.
A large number of people were also scalping tickets - Buying, Selling, Needing, Extra - chanting these phrases and offering programs, etc.
We ended up meeting Sarah and Clayton, a couple from Utah, and having a blast discussing our different paths and all that we look forward to. Note the effect of humidity on my hair . . .
We were sitting at a T stop, and Nick patted my hair. I asked him "what?" and he said "your hair just instantly turned frizzy." Yeah . . . .
