City Hall Tour

A and I went on a tour of the abandoned city hall station last weekend. It was worth every picture I took! There were arches:



Stained glass ceiling:



Of course, my overactive imagination thought the lights make this ceiling look like some kind of sacrificial altar. But hey, that's just a regular day's work for my overactive imagination.

Seattle

A few weekends ago, I was in Seattle for a conference. Of course, I couldn't let the opportunity to explore a new city pass. So I *kind of* forced my NYC walking habit (in my not-too-outrightly-forceful-but-getting-what-I-want-way) on my poor friend S, who obviously did not know what he was getting himself into when he cordially and innocently *volunteered* to show me around his city.



Hey! At least I did not make him claim Mt. Rainier!!!

We did end the night at his favorite bar (I am not completely heartless). But before that we took another detour and spent sometime at this park across the water for these night shots!

Nerd Pride

I first learned how to take pictures as a clueless frosh from Indy, Gabor and Jiri from The Tech. I think they took pity on this girl who laughed too much and worried about failing 8.01. I loved my time there and thankful for it everyday for helping me become the person I am.



Since I left, the 'tute has added a new gym, new dorm... and ANNA's right on the premise. So jealous!

Boston

Boston is beautiful in the fall.

I am thankful...

for Sundays. I got to go to Yankee Stadium, eat a bagel with more peanut butter than bagel for my early afternoon snack, walk around until my feet were about to fall off and then some more with my girl-powerrrr friend around the reservoir-mindlessly TWICE, and then sing songs with real/made up lyrics in my head and out loud all the way home, AND then pizza with D and daydreaming about biking in Colorado's wine country (not kidding, read in the NYT yesterday!) AND cranberry bogs...

Yankee Stadium

I was very fortunate to be invited to join some friends for a tour of Yankee Stadium this morning, even though it meant that I had to haul my butt out of bed after only 4 hours of sleep.







I am really a Mets fan and of Shea's ugly orange seats, but I have to say the rows of blues were mind numbing and kind of grew on me...
