Why I need to see it again by scarletlark

I saw it at night… I covered a lot of ground, but I’d really like to see what it looks like in the daytime.

I was able to visit Boston only for a few hours. Next time I hope to have more time.

Technically I’ve only been here once. I went to Boston in December 2005 and wouldn’t leave without a visit to the Commons to see the Christmas tree. I’m from Nova Scotia and I had to see the tree we sent to Boston. It was so neat to see a tree that was from my home province in the state I was visiting.

The last time I went to Boston some plans fell through and I ended up being alone a lot. I wandered Boston Common frequently as my hotel was pretty close. It’s so serene and beautiful, especially in the spring.

To walk around a place that’s been around for so long is just amazing, the history of it all is quite overwhelming.

I realized on that trip how small Boston really is. The memories from before all came together as I realized places I had been were only blocks from each other. I walked the whole city that week, and if I had thought I could land a job in advertising there, I would have moved there this year, but instead I came to Chicago.. I do love me some Chicago action, but every once in a while I wonder if I would have made things happen in Boston. It’s one of my favorite cities on Earth. Maybe one day I will reside there…
