Growing up on a small island has absolutely made me sheltered. In the best way possible. I have never had a craving for McDonalds or wanted to go hang out at the mall on weekends. Moving into Boston a few years ago, I experienced many people who wanted to do these things and more. I have lived in two areas of Boston, Beacon Hill and currently, the North End. Both beautiful neighborhoods that most people say remind them of europe. I don't entirely see the comparison, but i'll go with it. The past week, Boston has taken off its many layers and embraced the sunshine! Many people believe this means they can comfortably walk around outside in pants and a t-shirt. Not the case, people! Let winter take its time, we'll be in the springtime soon enough! The two things I love about the nice weather are the flower shops that put their daffodils and hyacinth out in huge buckets on the sidewalks (with a soft breeze, the smell trails right to your nose. Delicious) and the restaurants that put up their outdoor seating (I live for Whole Foods outdoor lunches in the springtime). This year, I live a few blocks from Faneuil Hall marketplace, which is the perfect spot for people watching on lazy evenings or grabbing anything you could ever want to eat inside the marketplace.
