Favorite Place in the Country

Gosh, this is such a hard question. One of the problems with living in such a large country is that there are so many places... This of course leads to lots of amazing places. Let me think.

I love Austin, it's amazing. But I love it the way you love your home town, it's not like exotic or anything. I suppose if I had to choose, I'd say Boston. It's a beautiful city. Also it's filled with so much amazing history. It has this amazing feeling partly because it's old, for an American city anyway. It feels like you could be there forever and never run out of things to do, places to go, ideas to explore. As an added bonus it has a subway. I love subways. To me they speak of freedom. It may be different once I can drive... Until then, at least, subways are a symbol of self-sufficiency.

Boston is also a religious center for me. The discoverer and founder of Christian Science,Mary Baker Eddy, lived in Boston for a long time. It was in Boston that she founded the Mother Church. Boston is important to me in many ways.

BOSTON must be very cool and awesome because you seem to be so into it. I am also very into religious stuff because i go to church every Sunday and i also have bible class. This paragraph makes me want to go and visit Boston or stay there for awhile. Was it exciting when you were there? I wish i could come one day. Thank you for interesting me with Boston =)

Boston really is awesome although i like it for different reasons. You know...i think from the top of the Prudential building you can see the big Christian Science church (dont remember what its called). I remember looking at it. Its a really pretty building.

I'd love to go to Boston, I think that would be cool. Though I think Austin is much better. Have you guys ever been to a different country you like better than the US?
