1. when the sun is shining, everyone busts out in their springy clothes and smiles at everyone they pass by. i like getting smiles from strangers. puts a bounce in my step. and it’s a good feeling. i’m starting like spring. a lot!
2. they plan crazy things for holidays. like the bunny bar hop for easter weekend. only requirement: bunny ears. how awesome is that? is it because there are a lot of young people in the city? i don’t know what it is but please don’t stop!
3. banditos misteriosos. they plan some great urban adventures. i did this scavenger hunt thing last summer with a friend where we had to find all these places in 3 hours around the hub. i discovered several things: 1. boston is totally a walkable city. i am not kidding!; 2. people are really helpful!; 3…. um there is no three. so there are only two things. okay. they are planning a pillow fight this saturday! how cool! i’m so totally there.
4. the history. perhaps this is a bit corny but everywhere you turn you run into something of america’s past. it’s like israel where everything is super ancient but not really. israel is better. but boston is good, too! hello, battle of lexington and concord? walden pond?
5. red sox. haha. just kidding. 
oh, and happy april!
