last evening in New Hampshire

So tonight is my last night in new hampshire. I am about ready to head off to sleep, and just thought I would write a little about my experiences here. This was my first trip to the east coast, and I understand now why so many people fall in love with new england in the fall. the trees are changing colors, the air is crisp. When I first got here it was even really plesent weather. In the 70's and really quite nice. I was told that it was unusually warm. As the week progressed I saw some cooler weather, not cold by any means, but cooler. I even saw some light rain or at least the the exidence as it never really rained on me.

Yesterday, I went to boston, explored. adventured in finding parking an paying 22$ for the privledge lol. while I was there I saw this park that ran through the center of town, and drove on the freeway that runs under it. it got me to thinking a bout the special I had seen with loren a couple months back about "The big dig" and I could have sworn this was it. I called and he did indeed varivy that it was boston and that was what I was seeing.. I took some pictures that I will post later. While I was there, I really wanted take the train to new york, which is a 4 hour trip. unfortunatly, they wanted 150$ for the trip, so I decided to pass. I will come back t othe east coast at some point so that I can see it thought.

I now have a bunch of pictures that I need to post. I will have to take some time and get that done this weekend. I got my schedule for the next couple of weeks and have to say that I am pretty excited. looks to be a good time. Well I better get to bed I have to be up early so that I can make my 11am flight. I am sure I will write more later.
