Today was our first full day in the city and to orient us to the Bostonian area, Ekpa & Whitney arranged a scavenger hunt down Boyleston Street. I'm wicked awesome at these things so I thought it would be really easy but in reality, a lot of the items were hard to find like the frozen yogurt and soymilk. You would think a Walgreens or 7/11 would carry things like that but they didn't. It really made me think about how stores decide what items to stock. Cheetos and gum vs. fresh fruit and bread.
Also the Boston people were kind of rude. People visiting the city were the only ones willing to readily help us. Red Sox-jersey-wearers brushed us off when we asked for help (although I may have asked my questions a little strangely). Eventually our team found a groove and we knocked a lot of things off the list. We even managed some extra time to feed a goose some of my PB&J sandwich.
I'm glad I got to experience some of the city first hand. Can't wait for the rest of the week!
