To the left is my bedroom... to the right is the 
front of my apartment complex. Today was my first real day, since I got in around 8 pm last night. I hit up Bed, Bath and Beyond in the Landmark Center shopping center next door and then the Shaw's Grocery Store... also right around the corner. Once I was all set-up and unpacked I decided to walk towards downtown. It's game day for the Red Sox so the streets around Fenway Park were packed with people and vendors. I apparently was the only person who didn't get the memo that you had to wear a Red Sox shirt. I didn't take a picture of all the craziness because I was already getting weird looks as it was. 
From Fenway I walked the sidewalk that parallels the Massachusetts Turnpike... not very scenic but necessary. Here' a picture at the corner of Bolyston St. and Hemenway St. with the some of financial center buildings in the background. The Berklee School of Music near here. As you can see a bird flew right between me and the Prudential Center.
I randomly came across the Christian Science buildings and churches where there is a reflecting pool and fountain. A bunch of cute little kids were running around in their underwear through the water.
This is at the far end of the reflecting pool looking back towards some of downtown. I don't really know much about the Christian Science religion but they have a beautiful complex. If you want to learn more visit http://www.tfccs.com/index.jhtml;jsessionid=DCA1EUFCEUUSDKGL4L2SFEQ
I am practicing my photography skills so I can impress Emily one day.
So that's it for now. Most posts won't be this long but until my job starts I have lots of free time and plenty of opportunities to explore.

This is great! What a smart child I have:) I'll be watching for updates everyday.
Ha ha thanks mom... at least I have one reader!
Well, I agree with the First Lady. I think she and the President have a very smart and beautiful child in you. It was my pleasure to finally meet you last week. I am very impressed with your blog and am excited to keep up as you post new stuff. So...keep 'em coming!
Anna - not sure if you will come to love the people of Boston but you will fall in love with the city itself...I spent many days and nights there for work and play. Both were enjoyable. Good luck and give a shout from time to time.
Hello Ms. Anna. This my first time writing on a blog, but I think you're doing a great job.
Carey's cousin, Christy Hedgpeth, who is from Thomasville and played basketball at Stanford, then the ABA now lives in Boston and heads up marketing for Spaulding. I'm going to forward your blog to Carey so he can give you Christy's contact information and you guys can get togther. She travels a lot, but I'm sure you can work out something.
Just remember to lock you doors and hold on to your valuables when you're in those crowds. (I can get away with telling you that -- Mom can't). Love, Gayle

WOW!!!
How exciting for you.
We are all so proud!! Keep the updates coming.
Anna, We love your blog. Great name. Your neighborhood sounds perfect. Lots going on. We look forward to vicariously experiencing Boston.
The lake is way too quiet and boring without you! Ellie is depressed.
Why am I not surprised that you have done this? Haha, but I am so glad you did, it will be an easy way for me to keep up with what you are doing! I miss you! Have a blast and call/write me soon! Love you!
I like this. Can learn about Boston from a Southern!
