Boston "Ahts" Festival & Such

Sep 11, 2004 20:59

Cool Boston moment of the day--went to a random Arts festival (actually called the "boston ahts fest"--heehee, way to go boston pronounciation humor) in Christopher Columbus Park.  They had free watercolors and paper, so melissa and i did watercolor sketches of the harbor area.  Of course, our drawings ended up looking like two completely different places.  We both took different artistic liscences ;-)  Mine is very storybook new worldish.



Ta-daaa!  Go scanner!

And later, we got many stares walking back from Bed Bath & Beyond.  Mels carried her boxed bookshelf back on her head Ghana-style.  (Ah, the things you learn during study abroad experiences).  It was amusing to me.

I'm also amused by quacking at the duck boat tours.  It's this land-and-water tour of Boston, and I think they're supposed to quack at people sometimes.  So I quack at them when I see them.  And a squirrel shunned my expensive sandwich today when I tried to feed it.  He doesn't know what he's missing.  Darn squirrels.  I think a two-year-old laughed at me.

I have yet to kick a pigeon.  I think they're football shaped and Jenny said she saw a guy kick one once.  I think he must've been talented because they've been too fast for me yet, the buggers.

art, life update
