Today I rode the T for the first time.
Well, the first time since I got here a week ago, at least.
Aliza and I went for a long walk this evening into downtown Boston. I never before realized just how small this city is. Within the span of less than 2 hours we walked from Cleveland Circle to Copley, Newbury St., and wandered around downtown for a while. It was a long walk to be sure, but really only covered maybe 6 or 7 miles. Still we got through a large part of the city.
I guess I never realized it during college because it was at least larger than the Brandeis campus, and now the contrast is all the more striking because LA is so damn big. I feel like the LA equivalent of this trek in terms of townships would be walking from West Hollywood through Westwood to Santa Monica and back, and that would take a whole lot longer than 2 hours...
