BOSTON!
Last weekend I was in Boston for an Oracle recruiting trip, i.e. collecting resumes at the career fair. hehehe. But boy do I feel old watching the undergrads milling around...but I got to meet a lot of young sisters! Once they found out that I was working a booth, they started coming up and introducing themselves. We passed out long-sleeved t-shirts which are a rare handout at career fairs so they were pretty popular. Other recruiters bartered for our t-shirts - I felt very smug knowing that they came to us. :p
Boston was definitely a FAT weekend - we had so much food!! All our activities were planned around food. Legal Seafood's on Thursday night - LOVE their warm chocolate pudding cake. I wanted a whole dessert to myself but fiance thought we should split...so we split it for (ahem) health reasons. (yeah, whatever)
Friday morning, we checked out of the hotel at 7am because we needed to be at his friend's place (which is where we were going to stay over the weekend) before they left for work. (UGH, imagine getting up at before 7am for work) Got to their apartment in time and dropped off our bags. Then it was SHOPPING!!! Went to Downtown Crossing to look for closed-toed gold shoes to match my chipao. Then dim sum at 10:30 with fiance's coworker-turned-friend in Chinatown. She brought her baby along - SO CUTE! He's this curious little thing that likes exploring (but then gets scared when he wanders too far). All the waiters were amused by him. heehee!
After dim sum, more shopping! Got two gold shoes that I need to decide on...Then we went to Harvard Square for Burdick's hot chocolate. So yum! Fiance never had it before but he said that it was so worth it despite the snow and rain that afternoon. (The roads were amazingly slushy because it had snowed in the morning and then turned to rain.) But unfortunately, due to the weather, we couldn't wear our nice outfits for L'Espalier in the evening. *sigh* At least the dinner was sublime....yummmmm. Thoroughly enjoyed each dish. =)
