Boston....WOW!

Just came back from the ACR conference at Boston, MA this morning! I spent 5 days there. It was my first time visiting Boston and I must say that it's a great city to learn about American History! I went on the Freedom Trail, which is pretty much a walk in which you just follow a red line. You'll pass by all the important sites that you read about in middle school textbooks. Come to my Picasaweb for the photos. I included some descriptions of the locations.

The ACR conference was only busy from Day 1-3. Then Days 4-5 we pretty much have workshops and sporadic lectures. We took some time in between to do sight seeing. I feel like I got a lot of return from this trip, both from ACR and also from just visiting Boston. Next year's conference will be in San Francisco!

Every night we try to go to drug rep dinners. I was kindda disappointed that my first few meals were either salmon or steak. Then yesterday, the last night, we had dinner at Morton's. I got there jumbo shrimp, crab cake and jumbo lobster!!! Boy that was the best dinner ever. Good thing I went on the Freedom trail, which took me 6.5 hours to complete. I probably burned off a bunch of calories.

If you haven't visited Boston before, I would highly recommend a few days visit. I think the best times to visit would be spring and summer since the current temperatures are freezing. My next trips will be back to LA for Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Years.
