Even though it's my hometown city, I don't go into Boston very much. I don't like driving into it, mostly because I have driving anxiety in cities. I find the layout of Boston to be confusing, whereas New York City and Philadelphia (my two favorite cities) are much more logical with their nicely organized grid system. I could go into Boston by train, but I don't know how to use it, which is something I really need to learn. Eventually, I plan to conquer my fear and drive in more. All that is to say that despite the obstacles, I do sometimes find myself in Boston, like at the end of April when I had an appointment there. I arrived early (via Uber) and had some time to wander around the nearby Boston Public Garden. I don't think I'd ever been there before. It's such a lovely spot, especially with the spring flowers. I was very pleased to unexpectedly find myself there!
