I didn’t think I would be returning to America until after I was done with JET and my travels, meaning November 2007 (yikes!). Around June last year I was beginning to really miss home. I also had a special someone I wanted to visit back in Boston. What can I say….I caved. I was bound for the motherland. Maybe there is something in the water in Hiroshima left over from the a-bomb or something…because somehow I booked a flight not to California, but back to Boston to visit Misha (see HK and Philippines blogs), bringing the Southeast Asian romance to the Western Hemisphere. Lucky me with parents that love me, they flew out to meet me as well, and I have a bunch of friends now in Boston, so I got to see more than just Misha. In addition I hadn’t been to Boston since I was in elementary school so it was going to be fun exploring the city all over again. To hell with all these excuses though, I was going home to America!!!!

I didn't think I would be returning to America until after I was done with JET and my travels, meaning November 2007 (yikes!). Around June last year I was beginning to really miss home.

I arrived late in Boston on a Friday night after my LONG flight from Osaka. I was so excited to see Misha that as
I walked down to get my bag and run out to meet him I passed him! Misha and I are not too good on these airport meetings, as we had a similar experience in Hong Kong. Misha was dressed up, holding a sign reading "Keishi Rari" decorated with Cal slogans and our Greek affiliations...I was beyond elated to see him!

Saturday...first meal...A BURRITO!!! It was soooo nice to have food that cost less than five dollars that was not from a convenience store, and it was MEXICAN FOOD! Although it did not hold a candle to the stuff we get in Cali, it was amazing. After that Misha took me walking down by the Charles River for a bit of a surprise. Walking along the river I was looking at all the sailboats and taking photos because they are indeed one of my weaknesses in life. I even was on the Cal sailing team for one day, before I realized I did not have time to commit to the team. ...
