Going nowhere...

this was friday night, donwstairs on the dock is where i took this picture. tim had picked me up from work earlier that evening, we went home for a quick dinner and 1 episode of the big bang theory (i wouldnt be surprised if we had seen each episode at least 3 times), and then we drove to the lab again where i had to do something for 10 minutes. but doing something for 10 minutes means you are busy for something like 30 and when i was done it was late and we were tired and in deserted charlestown and... i was so glad we drove here and we spend perhaps an hour in total just taking pics here and there, from the city, ourselves, whatever...
too bad i still did not read the manual of my camera, and too bad i dont spend as much time taking pics as i would like. but well, maybe that would get boring... :) besides, its still too cold out, so not always much going on....

Golden M

wherever you go, a golden M will be around. usually easy to spot from highways. sometimes more hidden; when i did an internship in the USA years ago, the canteen of the university housed a mc donalds, i found that very odd. while driving around boston today, we found a walmart. and this walmart had a mcdonalds. the golden M as entrance to your calorie infested food,  was somehow appealing to me.... why dont more mc donalds restaurants have an M like this? i never saw it before!
anyways, the walmart was an interesting experience of (a part of) american culture... it was my first time going to a walmart, finally!! when waiting for my visa, last year, i stumbled upon this website, where people post pictures of "interesting-walmart-clientele", and that made me wonder..... should i really.... ;)
unfortunately, i was once again too shy to take my own pictures that certainly could have been added to this site....
