This is Pagliuci's. :) And, there's so much light coming in, because they had these big windows that were like doors, and they were open(you can kind of see out of them in the first picture), which made for somewhat of a cold lunch, since the wind was FREEZING. If there was no wind in Boston, it would feel just perfect outside, but, of course, there's got to be cold(very, very cold) wind just about all the time. But, that's what you get when you're up north. The wind here almost makes me miss the heat back home("almost" being the keyword).
This is Uncle Fran in Faneuil Market/Hall! :) This picture makes me laugh, because I was trying to take a picture of just the inside of the building, but when I looked at it, Uncle Fran somehow got in it.. And, just look at his face! Hahahha. I showed him the picture and explained that it definitely wasn't planned(he's not a big picture-taking guy), and he just laughed and mentioned how horrible he looked. But, I thought it was a keeper. ;) But, on a serious note, this place was beautiful. :)
Horsie! I'm weird, I know. But, seriously, this was one beautiful horse. And, in case you were wondering, no, we did not go on a carriage ride; they were way too expensive. But, it was still nice to see some. :) You may be wondering how we actually did get around, huh? Welllll...
That's right! TRAIN! :D Or the "subway," as we like to call them. It actually wasn't entirely super exciting, but it was my first time, so I enjoyed it. :) I must say, though, there were some interesting passengers.. O.o For instance, we were changing from the orange train to the blue train(different colors go to different places) and there was this colorful tunnel thing that we had to walk through. Well, I wanted to take a picture of it, since I thought it was cool, and these three guys(they were about 19-20ish, in age) decided to walk around us and get right in front of me just as I was taking the picture. And, people were doing that all day, so it was getting kind of old, by that point. So, the next picture I took looked like I purposely took it of the three guys walking through the tunnel thing, which, I promise, I wasn't. I mean, two of them were really cute, but I'm not that kind of stalker.. Well, most of the time I'm not. ;) Anyways. So, we got on the blue train to go back to Uncle Fran's apartment, and guess who decided to get in the same exact car we did? That's right. Those guys did. And, might I add, I think one of them thought I was cute or something, because two of them stood a couple seats over, and he sat almost right across from me and kept looking at me and smiling(and yes, he was one of the two cute ones). I mean, I didn't mind, but I still thought it was kind of strange. Especially, since when their stop came up, the non-cute one goes, "Come on, Zac. Let's go. This is our stop, Zac." But, he said it in a super New Yorkian accent(which I don't think was real), and he said it like this "Zac" guy was a ten-year-old. They were both laughing, but "Zac" wasn't. He just kinda got up and left with them. Of course, I thought it was freaking hilarious. But, it was still strange.. Very, very strange.
Those are just some pictures of a few, of the very many, beautiful buildings here, in Boston. The fourth picture(the one with the random Asian lady, one of the many people who kept getting in my way while taking pictures, I might add) is of "The Narrowest Home In Boston." Or, at least, that's what some random guy, that just so happened to be going the same way we were, told us. And, I definitely believe him.. I mean, I don't think I'd like living, nor could I live, there. I'd get too claustrophobic.
Those are a few pictures(more photography-style than the others) of some of the places we went. The first one I didn't even plan. I just took the picture and the sun just so happened to be in the right place at the right time, so it turned out awesome. :) Stevie saw it and tried to get one like it, but admitted that mine was better. The third picture is Paul Revere. And, apparently, he's a Boston Bruins fan(in case you didn't know, that's Boston's hockey team, which, are playing in the Stanley Cup, tonight). So, OF COURSE, they put a jersey on him. I thought it was funny. Especially, since, when we got to it, there was a girl scouts group on a field trip there, and one of the girls said something about it and gave their input of who should really be in it. What was even more hilarious was when her mom yells, "Hey! Remember you're in Boston! So, shut your mouth!" Hahahaa. She was mortified when we started laughing and she realized how loud she yelled it. Of course, she was a Bruin's fan, so I doubt the fact that they were in Boston really had anything to do with it. ;) The fifth picture is of some garage door thing that someone had painted hearts on, probably vandalizing, and I thought it was cute. And, it turned out pretty good. :) And, that cemetary? I took that picture by putting my camera on top of a wall(which was above my head, btw) and pushing the button. I guess the pictures you don't really plan on looking good, actually turn out great! Yay photography! :D
Oh, and there was a street performer that we saw while in Faneuil Market/Hall(please, google that, because I didn't get any good pictures of it, but it was awesome). I videoed his whole performance, but it took up all the memory on my camera, so I deleted it. He was put in a straight jacket, tied up with a rope, and suspended, upside-down, about 10 feet from the ground. He had to escape and get right-side-up, again, all by himself. He was hilarious. And he had a cute volunteer, named Liam, who kept staring at me. :) Haha, sorry, if all this talk about cute guys bothers you, but I'm a teenage girl, and just want you to know exactly what I experienced. Plus, if you really know me, this is no surprise to you. ;) Anyways. So, this guy(the performer, not Liam, haha). He was actually really perverted, but it was in a joking way, and everyone thought he was just hilarious. I was going to post the video I actually got of him escaping, but it's only like a minute and some odd seconds long, and it wouldn't upload it for some reason. But, yeah. He was great. And, it was a great experience getting to walk around Boston, ride in trains, and see lots of interesting people. :) Oh, and almost everytime I say, "Boston," I accidentally say it in a Boston accent.. Yeah. I'll be a full-blown Northerner before the end of the week! :D Well, Boston Red Sox game tomorrow!
