Why haven't I been blogging? I have no idea. I've done some amazing things since I got back from London. I saw Bruce Bruce, Martin Lawrence, and Beyonce! I started eating meat again. (sad face) I went to Boston! I moved into my own apartment!
This has really been quite a year, and it's only halfway done.
The Beyonce concert was a fiasco! I'm still waiting to hear back from Ticketmaster about my complaint. Once I do, I'll tell you all about it.
Boston was amazing! I took my niece for her birthday. She wants to go to Harvard when the time comes. So, I took her to tour the campus. It was amazing! I think I was more excited than she was.

| One day, she'll attend Harvard Law and I'll take another one of these. |
 |
| It wasn't her first plane ride, but she was too young to remember the last one. She does not enjoy flying. |
 |
| Penguins are her favorite! The New England Aquarium had a wonderful exhibit! |
 |
| I just love how happy this photo looks! |
 |
| We stayed right down the street from this Paul Revere monument. |
 |
| This Holocaust Memorial shook me. I cried. |
 |
| John Harvard statue! |
 |
| This is the library in one of the dorms at Harvard. Yes, each dorm has it's own library. And it has a piano! |
 |
| Whale watching! We only saw a couple of whales, from a substantial distance, for just a few seconds. It was a bust, but it was a nice boat ride. We couldn't have asked for better weather! |
We stayed in this little Italian neighborhood in North Boston. It was the perfect location! I used Airbnb for the first time. We got a better price than any hotel in the area! It worked out better than I could have imagined, but I still prefer hotels. It just feels weird staying in someone else's living space. I'm pretty sure the apartment we stayed in is used exclusively as a vacation rental, but still.
The neighborhood was fantastic, mostly Mom & Pop places. I got the best coffee I've ever had at a cluttered corner market where you can buy herbs and spices. The men behind the counter spoke to regular patrons while they rung us up. It was like something out of a movie! I would visit Boston again in a heartbeat!
