September 11 - September 16
Staying with Sharon in Boston has been great. So good to have someone show you around, and get a proper feeling of the town. With such short time, we did a lot in the few days I had, and I am also deeply greatfull that I had time to chill, write on this blog and do my laundry. Boston is a beautifull city, and very diverse. People are slightly over crazed with baseball - the Red Sox rule! - and there is a TV in every corner of every bar, wich I find rather frustrating!
The Holocaust monument. The glass towers are engraved with all the numbers of the Jews in concentration caps.

'Make way for ducklings' statue in the park. This story is one of Bostons little treasures, a childrens book of a family of ducklings who have to cross the busy town center to make it to their new home in the park....

One-man band in street.
Eating out in little Italy. Met lovely people, Sharon and Dan's friends. Little Italy is not quite as Italian as I expected it to be, but the food is good!
The ICA museum on the waterfront. A part of town under developement. This new mordern art museum is one of the main atractions. Built by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in 2005, this building is really unique, offering beatifull views over the harbour.
Other sights in Boston included walking around the campus at Harvard, bustling with college students, and visiting the habour area downtown, where the was an art fair going on. In the evenings, Dan and Sharon showed me the local bars, and one evening we went out to a rock concert which was to be a part of the MTV show 'Made'. The concept was to film this adorable 16 year old girl from the country, whose dream it was to become a rock star. She was being tutored by the front singer in the band Semi Precious Weapons, who is, well as different from her as it could get. Latex pants, high heels, black eye makeup and platinum hair. http://semipreciousweapons.com/ Their debut album is out in september, and the concert was awesome... Great show. So who knows - I might be on MTV.....!
Last but not least; traditional dinner at Sharons parents - here home made apple pie. Yummm!
