visit to Boston

I spent several days this week in the Boston area. The purpose of this trip was to visit Woods Hole for research, but it was cheaper to go to Boston and then take a seperate trip to Woods Hole than to just go to Woods Hole. There were two reasons for this. First, taking a bus to Boston from New York is relatively inexpensive. Second, I know several people in Boston who would let me stay with them free of charge. I ended up staying with Pam, a fellow FSU anthropology student who is teaching (middle school?) in Boston and recently purchased a condo. She and her cat generously let me stay at their place, which had lots of room, since she hasn't found a roommate for the condo yet.

Pam's cat (Derby-Lynne) came to visit me a lot while I was sleeping, since I was sleeping in her favorite spot. She was a very nice cat, although a loud meower.

Since I was in Boston for a couple evenings, I had a chance to visit with a few Wooster alums, who lived in the same building as Brian and me for all the years we were at school together. Shosh (on left) was in Brian's year and a fellow psychology major. Sarah (on right) was in my year and we were roommates for one semester (the other semester of that year, I was in Greece).
