cahnHad a really lovely weekend in Boston, the vast majority with J-and-company as sort-of-semi-scheduled, but also with a detour to Cambridge to see K/B/D. The weekend involved a large amount of food, lots of sunshine, and lots of wonderful people (not just J and K/B/D -- all of J's friends are really lovely). Excellent.
Boston decided to be extremely beautiful and sunny and bright, as if it's trying, like J, to get me to move back. I was pleased to find that I still have deeply buried memories of the T -- there were a couple of times where I found myself thinking things like, "Okay, I am pretty sure that going up this flight of stairs is not going to get me where I want to go, even though it looks like the obvious choice," and I was right.
It was interesting, though: in all my previous visits to Boston, I've thought of it as coming back home. This trip -- both Boston and I have moved on. I'll always love it, but it's not a place I belong to anymore.
Though after five years away from Boston... will be back in one month! With D and E, and we'll have to take E to the Public Gardens so she can see what the pictures in Make Way for Ducklings look like in real life...
