I am taking this afternoon to wander around the Boston area near the convention center. In my wanderings, I realized something that maybe I should have done...researched the area before coming to the conference. With the jam packed schedule of the conference, there is not exactly time for site seeing, but we still need to eat. Most people, I saw, had no trouble finding a quick lunch at the mall, but sometimes you want to sit down to a nice meal, or maybe have a beer to celebrate winning that poster competition. If I were to repeat this blogging experience, maybe some quick googling and a short post on a nice place to get a burger and a drink would have been helpful to my fellow scientists.
I am fortunate to be staying with friends who were able to point me in the direction of a few places that they knew I would like, but not everyone has that benefit. For all the others that traveled some distance to Boston, hopefully you got to see more than the inside of the convention center. Even if it was just to step outside breifly and enjoy the surprisingly good weather this week.
