Bel & Cambridge

Last weekend I came back to Boston...
I can´t help comparing to the time I visited in Winter, with my friends. It looks so different...
The lakes and rivers that were frozen are now offering a great scenario for picnics and sports.
I´m not very sporty but I thought it was a good plan for a Saturday afternoon to try kayaking...
So we headed to the Charles River, and rented a kayak in Cambridge...
It was hilarious... I´m really bad at it...






H thought it was a good idea to get off the kayak so that he could take better pictures of me with the Harvard Boating House behind...


I couldn´t coordinate at all and kept going in circles... And then... I couldn´t get close to the shore to pick him up, so funny!


Finally, I managed to get him on board and we went back the rental place...

It´s something I´d like to try again, for sure!

Bel & New York: Summer Weekend :)


After spending so many weekends in Boston, I decided it was time to enjoy my city...
So H came for the weekend and I took him to my favourite place: Noguchi Garden Museum
I think it´s funny how my favourite place in New York, it´s not in New York City, but in Long Island. But it´s just perfect... I think what I like the most about it is the contrast to NYC... It is so calm, quiet, peaceful...







Then, we headed to Central Park where we met a bunch of his friends...

Lovely weekend in New York :)

Bel & Boston


A few weeks ago I started visiting Boston...
and I kept going back... every weekend.
The company has a Summer Friday program so it means that every other Friday I get to leave by 1pm.
The city is charmingly elegant, but that´s not all, I got someone to visit in Boston :)
So, every Friday I´ve been traveling to Boston, to come back to New York on Sunday afternoon. It´s exhausting but it´s good to get attached to another city. I´m hoping it will help me get over my New York obsession, hehe

These are some of the pics of my weekends in Boston.







On my first weekend, I visited the Museum of Fine Arts, and then I met H to go to the Institute of Contemporary Art. It´s a shame I didn´t take any pictures. I guess I got distracted :)
Then, we took a walk and ended up entering the Aquarium for free. It turned out there was a wedding being held and we entered as if we were guests... so funny!
The New England Aquarium is stunning! It was a round pool, really tall and you can walk around it. As you walk through the different floors, you get to see different species. So nice!
Then we went to a party at some of H´s friends´place. It was fun.
On Sunday afternoon I went back to New York.

The following weekend I had my boss´farewell in New Jersey, so I couldn´t miss it.
It´s a shame he is leaving the company but I guess it´s the best for him. He will be moving to the suburbs to a larger place and I´m sure his kids will like it better.

So, I had to wait two weekends to go back to Boston.
It turned out there was a particular thing going on in Harvard. Harvard University had bought a few houses to house new faculty buildings. Since the houses were historical, they couldn´t suffered alterations or be demolished... So, they decided to move them! It was a very difficult and expensive process! But they manage to put wheels under the houses, and they moved them to a different location. This way, Harvard gets a great location close the campus, and the houses with its history are preserved.




The day after, we took a walk though the Boston Common and then we drove to Marshfields. Just a nice beach town where we took a nice walk and made a picnic :)





The following weekend we visited the Library.





And walked around the city...





I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Bel & New York: East Village with Mechi

When we visited DC last May, I knew Mechi was coming at some point to stay with some friends in Upstate New York...
So, she let me know when she managed to visit NYC. We went for drinks and dinner in the East Village, and then we said goodbye at Grand Central Station...




I think it´s great that we are staying in touch... she is super cool and I´m sure we´ll remain friends after going back to Argentina...
