So the last weekend in June, me and my buddy Dan went up to the Boston area to stay with a friend who we haven't seen in quite a long time. He lives in a town west of Boston and south of Cambridge, (which is where Harvard University is located). If you have never been to the Boston area, I highly recommend it. Boston is home to the start of the American revolution and home to a very deep and rich history. Many in America are not used to Northeastern culture. Mass transit dominates, just like most Northern cities, and use of the subway(or the T as it's called in Boston) is the norm. There is no need for a car when you can either ride a bike or pay $2 to go anywhere in the 20 mile area. We ventured to Back Bay, and downtown Boston a few times. There are many attractions in the city itself. Such as the largest Apple store in North America, great restaurants, and gorgeously dank record shops. By far my favorite place though is Harvard Square in Cambridge. This small area with it's tiny cafe's, street musicians, and tobacco shops is cast in the beautiful shadow of the surrounding Harvard University, the oldest University in the US. I have some pics of the area, none which are mine, but are from flickr.
