The Adventures of Chris and Evey

First things first.......You ever have those days where you want to pull your hair out, yell, scream and cry all at the same time!?!? I know all you girls know exactly what I am talking about. And for all you men out there no it's NOT that time of the month.

With that said, I really don't feel like blogging today but I will. And only cause Andrea asked oh so nicely to tell her about living here in the states etc...

I really honestly don't see a lot of significant differences, not anything life altering anyways. A lot of the little things I noticed and still do are the things like say asking for a side of gravy in a restaurant. They first of all look at you like your retarded and second when you ask for a side of gravy here 9 times out of 10 they will bring you the kind of gravy you put on like country fried steak or something. I have found this to be the same all over the USA. They cannot phathom the idea of putting gravy on their french fries. Or vinegar for that matter, pretty much any restaurant in Canada you will find a bottle of white vinegar on the table or near by. Americans seem to find this odd and they more likely have white vinegar in their closet with cleaning supplies. Not all Americans call pop soda, but out here on the east coast they pretty much all say it. So when I order "pop" I always get looked at funny. But in the big scheme of things, it's all the same to me. Before I ever moved here I always thought Americans in general were not nice, that they thought they were all better than Canada etc... While I am sure there are plenty of Americans who do think this way I have learned its not the majority. I have yet to meet someone with the obnoxious we are better than everyone attitude. And it makes me sad that so many people have it all wrong and think most people here are that way. Sure maybe I am bias because I live here now....Too me though, its all the same. It's all the same people just trying to live life.

Boston in general is a great place to live. Expensive mind you, but as for the city itself I like it a lot. I had no idea what to expect when we came out here last year. But it is BEAUTIFUL here. Boston is a very very OLD city. Most of the buildings and houses are old and gorgeous. The churches here are incredible because the majority of them are HUGE and brick and completely breathtaking to look at. New England is just amazing in general. For those of you who don't know New England consists of 6 states. Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. Fall is like nothing I have ever seen anywhere.

The thing that is so different here from Seattle is that in Seattle, other than Portland, Oregon you generally need to drive a really long time to get to another major city or state for that matter. Here you can pretty much go any which way and be in another state in an hour or less. Whether it be Maine, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Connecticut etc... New York City even is only a 4 or so hour drive from us.














For the most part Boston is great. It's beautiful here.
