Some Observations from Boston & Cape Cod

Go Red Sox

Fenway Park is amazing. Hands down best ballpark I’ve been to. I’ll write more about it later, but it was awesome and a great game was played.

People in Boston seem to be the most unhappy people I’ve met. They’ve not been unfriendly, but overhearing phone calls about people being the devil and beating their wife, and couples arguing in public and people just generally using language in such ways and with such passion and hate has just amazed me. Still a great city though.

If you’re ever traveling alone, or even with one other person, sit at the bar in a restaurant. You meet the most interesting people there. If you’re at a table, you’re there all alone with no one but the waiter to talk to. Last night, I met some cool locals and fellow Californians, and got a great list of places I should eat while I’m visiting. I learned a few other things, but you get the picture.

I’ll update more about my trip when I’m back. I just had some thoughts floating around in my head.

    Yes, people here are chronically stressed and grumpy. But my conclusion, after living here for two years, is that they are quite happy. Being stressed and grumpy makes them happy.

    And you forgot to mention you had a reprieve in the house of very happy (not grumpy-happy but *really* happy!) and peaceful people with an awesome toddler!!!
