We had big plans for today. We were going to get student ID cards, walk along the Freedom Trail and see historic landmarks . . . .
Instead, we got caught out in the rain running errands and looking for furniture. We did manage to find the 2nd Season of Futurama at a consignment store before it started raining so hard that our clothes were soaked through in a matter of 60 seconds. Of course, this formed huge puddles in the street, and, yes, we did get doused in water sprayed by a gracious oncoming car. At head level!
We stopped for shelter in a pet store, where we played with the gigantic Newfoundland, and two little bulldogs, one old and slow, the other young and playful. So we bought some supplies for Chamomile and prepared to start running again. When we got to our apartment we were cold and wet (as opposed to hot and humid), but still determined to at least go grocery shopping.
After purchasing wooden duck-handled umbrellas from the CVS across the street, we rode the T the half-mile to the Shaws Supermarket - it's the East Coast version of Albertson's! The Shaws brand bread is distributed by Albertson's in Boise, ID. :)
We bought delicious kosher meat, kosher pickles (there's a huge kosher section), and tried to keep our bags light so we could keep our circulation on the way back.
On the way back we realized that the umbrellas only covered 30% of our bodies, and since the wind blew the rain in every direction, we were soaked anyway.
Where's hot chocolate when you need it?
