    Getting TO/AROUND: I used to rather enjoying riding the T in Boston (link to guide below) .

    Composed of four color-coded lines — red, green, blue, and orange — the T can take you most places throughout downtown Boston.
    The Green line trains (also called "streetcars" or "trolleys") offer a rather spectacularly rocky ride in certain spots, I used to get it to Allston for my musical soirees. You could start off in a tunnel, ratting away from side to side, hanging on for dear life and then be trundling along a street where the T had suddenly become a tram-like vehicle.

    The T appears to be quite logically arranged : 'Inbound' is always toward downtown Boston and 'Outbound' is away from it'. - although I have been on the T with a longtime Boston resident, who got us going in the wrong direction quite some way before I noticed! (I must have been used to the confusion of the London Underground he he ).

    Irrelevant Observation : There used to be quite a large amount of men carrying large bunches of flowers on the Boston T. Hmm

     Hmm, looks like that winter of snow you're talking about was the winter I grew my beard...coincidence? ;) Haven't made it into Dali yet, but there's no lack of good restaurants here. I'll have to try Dali out soon! Cheers!
