Boston

Boston was really fun. Steph and Dawna completed the marathon with an awesome time of 3:45:37. The weather was a bit chilly, but excellent conditions for the runners. There was a considerable drop in heat stroke cases because of the 50 degree weather. We also went to the famous Cheers bar. We passed a lot of sights I remember from visiting Matt when he interned in Boston for a summer, like Boston Common and a historical graveyard. Here are a few pictures:

Steph running the marathon. I was too excited when I saw her so she's not centered (she's at the left wearing pink shorts). At least she's smiling! This is mile 21!


After the marathon, a little more dressed up. From L-R Steph, me, Jenny, and Dawna.


While sightseeing the next day, we saw the smallest bar! There was a funny sign inside that said "Maximum Occupancy: 8000 persons" when it could really only fit 2 or 3 tables!


Something that has to be talked about was the dinky plane I was in from Flint to Cleveland, and from Cleveland to Flint on the way home. My connecting flight to and from Boston was a normal 737. Here are some pics:

The plane


I was in seat 2, here is my view of the front. I could see the pilot the whole time she was flying! When there was some turbulence I could really feel it. I felt better when I looked up and my pilot was sipping her coke and acting like nothing was shaking.


The back of the plane. There were only 8 or 9 rows so that means there were only about 16 passengers!


The propeller from my window. Even the small planes with the 2-1 seating don't have propellers! It was kind of cool though...
