Shichu visited me frequently, not as frequent as she promised though. She bet that I am a girl before I came out. So, if she loses her bet, she has to come to see me every week.
There she is. She brought her friend, Jessie. I gave Jessie a gift when she hold me the first time. I made her T-shirt wet without wetting myself. I did not even know where I learned that technique.
See I figured out whose shoulder is more comfortable right away. What! I got a duck’s face on my butt. This is embarrassing!
At age 2 months, Mama finally brought me to Boston from Framingham the first time. We stopped at Shichu’s apartment to pick her up.
This is my Baba's Indian T-shirt that Milind gave to him.
Hey, girls, take that girly thing away from me. I am serious.
Then we ate at Kuaizi Tangshi for late lunch,
I was there too, see the proof.
Then we took green line to Back Bay, which is also my first time in Boston T.
We walked around Mama's favorite downtown area, where is between the Boston Public Library and Trinity Church.
The Boston Public Library is the first publicly supported municipal library in the United States and the first public library to allow people to borrow books and other materials and take them home to read and use. In 1887 the prestigious New York firm of McKim, Mead, and White was chosen to design the new library. In 1888, Charles Follen McKim proposed a design based on Renaissance style which met approval from the trustees of the library, and construction commenced [1].
Trinity Church is the only church in the United States and the only building in Boston that has been honored as one of the "Ten Most Significant Buildings in the United States" by the American Institute of Architects (AIA). After its former site on Summer Street burned in the Great Boston Fire of 1872, the current church complex was erected under the direction of Rector Phillips Brooks (1835–1893), one of the best-known and most charismatic preachers of his time. The church and parish house were designed by Henry Hobson Richardson and construction took place from 1872 to 1877, when the complex was consecrated. The Trinity Church is the birthplace and archetype of the Richardsonian Romanesque style, characterized by a clay roof, polychromy, rough stone, heavy arches, and a massive tower. This style was soon adopted for a number of public buildings across the United States [2].
What a beautiful summer day!
