We arrived! We finally got to Boston after a fairly un-eventful 9 hour drive. I successfully drove the monster van with minimal issues. We witnessed two near-accidents on the Jersey Turnpike, but arrived in the city around 7 p.m. tired, excited, and in one piece.
Our hostel is very cool. It's a block from the Berklee College of Music, so it's filled with lots of artsy shops and student-friendly restaurants and cafes (with student-friendly prices to boot -yay!). The building itself is super old and close to everything.
Today, our plan is to hang out around the city until lunchtime, when we'll head over the home of Michael Dowling - the founder of Medicine Wheel Productions, the non-profit we're working with this week. The South Boston St. Patrick's Day parade is today, and he's invited us to watch it from his place. It should be barrels of fun!
For now, I'm heading out to check out the neighborhood in the daylight. I'll take some pictures to share.
