Boston is quite cold, even for a Canadian
18 Mar 2005Now I’m from Canada so everyone in the city thinks I should be used to cold weather. I am to a certain degree, but the dry cold 2degree weather I’ve been
experiencing in Boston is something i don’t particularily like.
I’m in the city for business, having a few meetings with a large biotech. I’ll be back in a week and half for a continuation, hopefully bringing the nice
west coast weather with me.
Boston and Cambridge are interesting cities(?). The metro train system rocks and I can get anywhere that I need to relatively quickly. The hotel I’m stay
ing at is basically right across the street from the MIT campus so I’ve done a couple trips through it, stealthily taking pictures inside of random buildin
gs. The strata building is definately interesting to look at.
I’ve also scoped out Fenway Park (but didn’t get a tour this time) and checked out Harvard. St. Patrick’s day packed the city and bars were charging a red
iculous (to me) $30/$40 US cover charge to get in. Even though I was freezing I wandered around until I found a place with a slight lineup but no cover.
All in all, Boston’s cold. I’m overlooking the charles river and it’s partially frozen.
