Happy Graduation Day tomorrow for Johan! We are so happy to be again in Boston, especially to celebrate with the family, Johan's graduation from the PHD program at Boston University. The last many months have been busy ones. I realize though that I have not updated this blog in way too long of a time. So.... well..... I don't always write very much, so then. via Facebook, I update with pictures. Last week we celebrated Mother's day with Grandma Dottie and the family. We had a nice visit and a dinner out with everyone. So nice to all be together. We are a traveling family. Now Dottie is off to Hawaii, We are in Boston, Phil is off to Hawaii and Ryan takes off for Mexico next week. What is it about his family. We have the travelbug itch so easily it seems.
No really, It really just happened, and its all just timing. We all just happen to be on the road or the airplane.
Yesterday, our travel started with a 3:00 AM wakeup call from the Taxi driver to pick us up, ONLY, he was supposed to be there at 3:00 PM. big difference. Needless to say, Fritz and I were awakened quite early and found it hard to sleep afterwards. After a wonderful luncheon for SBRM, and busy day for both of us. a different Taxi driver picked us up at 3:00 PM and off we went to SB air bus, Lax, and finally on to Boston. 12hours all together. But we made it, met up with Johan and Rachel who flew at the same time from San Diego. Thankfully we were able to get our apartment early at 8:00 am. We crashed and caught up on our sleep.
Dorian and Fred arrived also in the afternoon. We are having a lovely dinner and relaxing around the nice apartment. We are right by the Boston Gardens, American's first public park. A few blocks away is the Boston Library, American's first Public Library. Boston is a city of firsts as you might imagine already. First fire station, first medical school ( Harvard), first public school. It has over 60 colleges within the Boston area, and 27 within the city limits. Academia Capitol of the USA. There are more students here than any other city in the US is what I understand. Something like 60,000 graduates every year.
And we love visiting this place too. Home of Fenway Park, the Celtics, the Patriots... so much in so little area geographically. We are looking forward to Graduation Day for Johan tomorrow. Big Day!
