Today was a long day. It started off with a late start getting a hair cut at SuperCuts, then trying to find a rail into Boston. Even though I'm staying at my brother's friend's house less than a mile from Lincoln Labs, where there is a bus stop, the only thing we were sure about is a rail station he has seen off highway 2. We end up going quite a bit west to South Acton, drove right by the train station, and that was a fiasco in and of itself. We eventually get to the right place, just in time for the train to arrive. Luckily, the train is going straight to Boston w/o stops, and there was no charge for the ride!
I get to North Station, travel the subways and do my business looking for work. This town is awesome for public transportation. If I lived here, I would probably not keep a car. Oh, what an experience!
Finally, I headed north on the red line to the Kendall stop. I got up, got my APRS locator going again, and just started walking. MIT is an amazing site!
The sad thing is it's a bit depressing. On one hand, it's somewhat inspiring to see all the sights of the campus; to be here. But at the same time I feel small and unaccomplished. Luckily, this is a short trip and I don't have much time to dwell.
After I log out here, I'm traversing the T back to my couch by Lincoln Labs, then it's off to the airport at 4 AM or so to fly back to KC.
