Incubus Concert

Last Saturday, Mallory, Derek, Kristen, and I went to see one of my favorite bands ever at the Comcast Center in Mansfield. The venue was intimate, which is a nice way of saying "it was really small and parking was a disaster".

The show, however was amazing. Unfortunately, my 4-year-old Nikon D50 counts as a "professional camera" and was thus not welcome, but I was able to get some good, albeit grainy pictures with Kristen's camera.

Boston Duck Tour

A great way to see Boston is to take a Duck tour, which is a ride in an amphibious vehicle through the streets and down the Charles River. Some of them even go out to Boston Harbor as well. I highly recommend taking one if you ever visit the area.

The next-to-last picture below is an original, unmodified piece of the Berlin Wall.

July 4th in Hull

Kristen and I spend the 4th in Hull, on our friends' parents' boat. The weather was perfect for sailing, and it was a very exciting and relaxing day.

MIT

It was only a matter of time before I had to make a voyage to the Mecca of nerd-dom, just a short trip on the Red Line away. Fun fact: MIT has a football team. Their mascot? The Engineers, of course.

The middle picture below is the Green Building / Building 54, which hosts MIT's meteorology department. I couldn't get in there because of graduation-related activity, so I will have to go back some time and check it out.
