The Island of Rhode, pt. III, and Boston!

So, I waited to update this so that I could have pictures from my trip. I wanted to use them off of Flickr, since I have fallen in love with the quality they offer (as opposed to Photoucket, yuck.) But with a free account, you can only upload so many pictures per month. I had to "upgrade" my account, which I don't mind. But I had to withdraw the money from my bank account to my PayPal, and that took foreverrrr. It's supposed to show up today. I'm glad I am though, because I used basically all of the monthly stuff in one upload.

Anyways!

Last leg of my trip:

- Friday:
This was the last day of my Dad's conference. So we had basically whatever to do until he was done. So my Mom dropped me off near a beautiful house that I saw a few days earlier (below), and I listened to death cab and walked around taking pictures for like, 2 hours. It was like 30 degrees or something. And I loved every bit of it. It was my favorite part of my trip.
Here are some photos from that:






So that was Providence, Rhode Island. After that extravaganza, I found a Starbucks and bought a veryyy hot coffee. Then they played "I Will Possess Your Heart"! I was stoked on that. That night we went over to Charlesworth...? I can't really remember the name of the town, but it was very near Boston. So we switched to a hotel over there.

- Saturday/Sunday:
We did the "Freedom Trail" in Boston, which is basically a walk around Boston seeing a TON of historic things, like the First North Church, and Paul Reveres house, as well as his grave, and the site where the Boston Massacre happened, and such things. It was actually really cool.










Boston was really cool, to say the least. But freezing cold!

- Monday:
Seriousss traveling day. Didn't get much sleep on the planes at all either. It was the same route we took out there, just, reversed: Boston to Denver, Denver to LA.

In the Denver airport I got a few cool pictures as well:



That was my trip. I'm glad to be home in very warm Southern California. I might post something later today about the things that have been happening since I got home. But not now.

I have TONSSS more photos on my Flickr from my trip, these were a very small amount of them. So please go check them out here.

much love,
-alex.
