Fort Meyers, FL

The school I'm student teaching at currently had April break this past week. Technically I still had Smith classes, but I decided to take them off in favor of a trip to Florida to see my grandma. It was great. So relaxing after a tough semester.

Boston

This is my second time in Boston this year. The first time was over my placement high school's February break. Last time was insanely fun, but unfortunately we weren't able to do everything we wanted to in the short time I was there, so we planed this get-together to continue the fun.

I bussed to Boston in the early morning and met up with Karen around 10am for dimsum in Chinatown. We gorged ourselves and then headed to the Aquarium to get what we thought were free tickets to the Imax theater. Turned out the free tickets were at the Science Museum, not the aquarium, so we ended up wasting an hour in line. It was alright though because we got to talk and catch up, and I guess standing and walking burns more calories than just sitting around...

We ended up getting tickets for the OMNITHEATHER at the science museum and went back later in the night with some other Smith alums. It was so neat to see the Serengeti stretched out before my eyes with a >180 degree view. I felt like I was there. Fantastic!

The next day we went to Sam Adam's brewery, got tipsy off of free beer, and walked around JP. Mike came over later in the night for dinner and we were finally able to do what we missed out on last time -- HIT UP THE GAY BAR. We were going to go to Dyke Night but it was the wrong weekend, so we went to Club Cafe instead. I've never been to a male gay bar, and it was like an anthropology lesson. I learned more about gay culture in one night than in my 22 years on earth.
