actually i thought your voice kinda reminded me of one of my cousins - i brought it up to S & she agreed - and no, thats not some shifty answer where i secretly think my cousin has a whiny and rapid voice...
the new england accent is the sound of salt water to me - i don't know if i can explain that...or maybe a dunkin donut filled with salt water...
i think solo trips, especially the parts where we really are solo (which would account for your time in boston), really open themselves up for reflection - you lose the necessity for communication, but unlike being at home you're exposing yourself to new surroundings so you never get into a state of repetition and boredom...
oh, and if you ever have a few minutes and feel like a laugh, check the wikipedia entry on rhode island - never mind, i'll print it here:
Rhode Islanders have a particular fascination with coffee. There are coffee shops on almost every corner and it is common belief that more coffee ice cream is sold here per-capita than any other state. The Official State Drink of Rhode Island is coffee milk, a beverage created by mixing milk with coffee syrup. This unique syrup was invented in the state and is bottled and sold in most Rhode Island supermarkets.
ummm...okay...i actually ended up going out for coffee 3 times on monday morning, once at the providence train station, once at this small tuscan place near the harvard book store in cambridge, and once at a nice italian cafe close to twisted village, just to make up for the previous weekend...
