1)...The Question?

2)...Statements by Ghosthunter!

I just got here at 10am. So this is a brief
summary until some proper sleep!
Thanks for you patience!

Departure to and arriving at wrote:

There was little incident in getting here.
I was with Prometheus at the Greyhound
Depot when the bus was loading at 5:25pm.

The bus had to wait for a late bus, so it
departed by 6:30pm. Then it was on it's
way.

The Ohio state passed first and hints of
Pennsylvania housing designs permeanted
the landscape as we approached Pennsylvania.

Fields of green! and park size lawns and farms
so vast were common.

leaving Ohio wrote:

Pennsylvania was a quick passover, the buildings
were well distinguished with types of native
architecture!

For those who like NY, I will be forboding
about my opinion!

New York State sucks! It has a odd energy
and I disliked every rest/stretch break!

I found the scenery was matching it's livliness!
NY may have scenery, but I might have well
have been in murky old-Oakland where a
butter knife could cut through it.

This wasn't the case in Massachussettes. I liked
it energy, and when I reached Boston, it reminded
me of San Francisco, and it's crowds. This is
culture shock to me as I am getting use to the
spacial areas of the mid-west! I am a adaptive
creature, and as such, shift constantly!

I went to Borders and am posting updates, and
such. After this posting I will be seeking 3 nights
shelter for a thorough evaluation of Boston.

Yawn! Good-bye for now!

3)...The Question Repeated!

I'm glad to hear that you like Boston you might want to travel around Boston via MBTA. If you have a chance, you might want to take a short trip up to Portland. --Unfortunately, I don't know of any places in Portland that offer free WiFi as of last July. but Coffee by Design is the Coffeehouse of choice up there.
They have several two locations on Congress St, and one on India St, which is across the street from Amato's where you can get cheap eats. If you do decide to go there (Day Trip) I suggest you get an Amato's Italian Sandwich and a Whoopie Pie.

GH,

My I suggest that take a day and hike the Freedom Trail. I wish I would have brought the pictures I took the day we meet. Oh well, trust me on this one. :lol:

BTW, you are right, New York State does suck. That is why I do not live there anymore. BTW, how did you like the stop in Buffalo NY. That is where I grew up.

EDIT: its Panera, not Pandera

I live in NY and don't like it much either, except the fact that my family is here and I know my way around everywhere in the area(i get lost easily)
ljbouchard, I live near buffalo...I lived in the city when I was young, and I've always lived less than an hour away

I didn't know that!

There's a Panera near my house. I just checked and, of course, you are correct. It has free wifi.

I heart Boston. I used to live really close, now I live quite a hike from there; probably an hour and a half ride on the T (the commuter rail comes close to me.) Last time I was there was for a concert, a month ago, and my mom drove me in- majorly confusing for her. Have fun, can't really reccommend anyplace to go since I'm not much of a sightseer. All I can advise for today: Go someplace with air conditioning!!

I found it grimy, and wouldn't have gone past the
Greyhound depot. Alot of riff-raff and such awaiting
you on the outside. I thought californians were
impoverished!

Just for the record, I got lost in the transit system
most of the day, after I posted this morning.

It sucked the heat was so bad my jacket, and black
turtleneck are soaked and hat is suffering, I am
wandering for hours, had my pillow case snipped
to put this material in a new one.

Apparently, the heat and getting lost has it's
first travel casualty in this trip, other than my
Harrypotter Book #6 is no more, swiped!

Oooooh! Well!

Sincererly,
