afternoon in cambridge.

the weather leaving syracuse was crappy at best. but i quickly left that behind. the weather here in boston is gorgeous.. i met fjk at her work in cambridge and we walked down to the tibetan restaurant around the corner in central square. yum... we chatted and discussed some must sees/dos in paris. if she had her way i would be moving there she gave me so many ideas.

fjk warned against going to rome, she has never been herself but highly discourages it.. i'm starting to think that maybe there is a reason that we have just not been able to get our acts together enough to book our trip there. maybe we should just stay in london. even 2 cities in one week is probably too much. if we cut out italy, we would prob save ourselves hundreds of dollars and lots of stress.. plus london is a pretty expansive undertaking. maybe we could go out to the burbs on the weekend instead.. i'll talk to KT and BD tonight.

then i drove over to jk's house where i sit outside in my mobile office sucking internet from the nearest home waiting for him to get home from work. i also took a bunch of pictures of my drive over here. i think i am going through a "mobile picture taking phase", i get in my car and instantly want to take pictures while i am driving. i think i just invented a new extreme sport...

fjk pointed out to me one glaringly obvious thing that never occurred to me before.. we will be in paris for mardi gras, for those of you that don't know mardi gras means "fat tuesday" in french. and mardi gras is always the tuesday before Lent. i never realized that it was tied into a religious holiday. duh.. i thought it was just one of those drinking holidays like st pattys day and cinco de mayo. i didn't realize there was a reason for it...

i am a little surprised with myself at how much i still remember how to get around here in MA. it didn't seem like it took me too long to forget how to get around in syracuse. but here, i can still get around like a pro. :) actually, i should take that back. finding the big dog tomorrow might be dificult. :(
