Northeastern Weeks

2014 August 9

I was on a work trip to the Boston area for the past two weeks and got a good feel for the Northeastern summer.

Started with a quick stop in the hustle and bustle of NYC for a fun weekend with friends…

…before zooming over to what I often describe as the more chill big city.

In Cambridge, I stayed at a hotel the whole time and it’s right up there with my longest hotel stays. Believe it or not, it can feel like home after a few days.

The long trip was because we were going live with the software. In other words, “turning the system on” in other words.

There’s something really gratifying about completing a lengthy (ten months in this case) project, especially for a safety net hospital. All those hours building, testing, and training, always with the patient at heart.

Within those two weeks, I got a chance to meet up with some newer and older friends, and experience Boston summer.

Due to some changes of plan, I ended up having the middle weekend free to myself. And of course, I had to explore.

I roamed all around, from Boston parks and open air markets…

Look what I found in along the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway, a 1.5-mile stretch of contemporary parks in the heart of Boston:

…to the riverwalk in Nashua, New Hampshire (found out that everything in New Hampshire is closed on Sundays, except nature), and even got to grab dinner with an old work buddy in Providence.

New Hampshire checks in as state #35  in the race!
