Boston: Days 2.5 - 3.5

While Edward was in class like a good boy yesterday, I went downtown to shop and wander around all the stores that are unavailable in T.O.

Bought a couple of things, but was so happy to find these:

Lovely lime tic tacs!! They don't sell these in Canada, only yucky mint flavours and whatnot. My parents used to get my sisters and I these citrus mix tic tacs whenever we hopped on the ferry in HK. Now that I think about it, I'm sure it wasn't only when we went on the ferries, but that's the memory that sticks out the most in my mind. I bought 30 packs. Uhm. They were on sale. Might as well.

Also found these. Another candy from my childhood. (D, do these look familiar? They are from the same company as the chewy bears.) Chewy cola bottles and chewy gummy bears, so much better than the soft, oily gummy bears and coke bottles usually available. I only bought a few bags of these, I'm thinking I should buy some more. I'm picky with candy. These rock.

Also took the bus to the UPS pick up place in Watertown. It was in the outskirts of Boston, kinda like what North York is to downtown t.o, but we got there really quickly. Everything is in a smaller scale in this city. Their "Ride Guide" uses a scale of 1 inch : 1/3 mile... that's 1 inch : 530m. Hmm.. TTC's scale must be like 1 inch : 1200m or something. No wonder they call this a walking city.

Edward's in class for another hour or so, I don't think I want to go outside today. Wilma is passing by the Atlantic near Boston so it's windy and rainy outside.

Hopefully the rain will die down tonite.. we are supposed to go to Union Oyster House for dinner tonite, and possibly stop by Quincy Market for some more fresh, fresh oysters. But it's raining so hard.... does that affect the quality of the oysters? Maybe something about the rain moving the water and sand around too much in the wharf and thereby pushing sand into the oysters??

I think I'm rambling. Time to stop.

time for: make lunch. hungry.
