An old rowing boat-mate of mine from my summer rowing with CRI back in 2006 uttered these words via social media right after the bomber was finally apprehended in Watertown, MA on Friday, and this statement pretty much sums up the city of Boston in my mind. From the short time I spent as a rower in this fabulous city, to the 2005 and 2006 editions of The Head of the Charles Regatta, to the amazing trip last week spent watching the 2013 Boston Marathon and sightseeing thereafter, to the amazing experiences and friendly people met in every trip, to the outpouring of extreme friendliness this past week by locals, and to the all-around awesomeness-brain power-nerd-tough guy-cool accent-historic aurora that is the city of Boston, this city is undoubtedly one that you really, really don’t want to mess with.
