Reminiscing

I was talking to a person about life in Princeton, and life in Boston. They said their life was so static; they didn't know what to do with themselves over the weekends so they just drove in to work. I told them how our life in Boston was so different. We used to walk so much. And I was reminded of the day we walked like 20 miles.

It started with an impromptu visit to our friend Dana's home in Brookline. We walked over 2 miles to reach her place. And from there we walked some more to reach the Arboretum in Jamaica Plains or Jamaica Pond was it? Then many rounds around the park, the birds were chirping, it was springtime. And finally we went to Dan and Jenny's place on Harvard Ave. Chilled there for some time, ate amazing sandwiches. Then we decided impromptu to walk another few miles to the Coolidge Corner theatre and watch the biopic on Ramanujam, or was it Turing? After which we walked back home. But it wasn't to end there. We then drove in Dan's jeep to an open air theatre to watch a trashy chick flick under a sky full of shooting stars. Scouty, our friend's dog really loved it. And finally we just stayed over at their place. It was fun. Life in Boson was good.

I can't wait to move to Montreal and to have more moments just walking around. Here's to new experiences and to new friends!
