On my way!!!

I'm sitting in the Boston Logan International Airport right now near my gate, hunched over my iPad in a telephone booth. It's the only place I could find to charge my electronics before my flight --

Before my flight!!!

I've got about two hours before my flight is scheduled to take off. It's been delayed an hour, probably because of that volcano that went off last Saturday, which means that getting to the airport at 7pm was pretty early. I've managed to keep occupied the last 2 hours and I've still got enough to keep me busy til then.

I've gotten my first blister :( Jared and I walked around Boston all day. We walked the Freedom Tail. It's some 3 miles and we kept veering off whenever we saw something interesting. The trail was very wild. It went from being the standard crowded-downtown feel to being a very nature-y feel to being a very port-centric feel. At the Paul Revere monument an old man was playing his guitar for tips and it sounded hypnotizing. There was monument to the fallen soldiers of Iraq full of hundreds of unnamed dog-tags. All the guides dressed up in their colonial outfits and spoke in booming voices. The day was hot, semi-cloudy and in the '80s, a perfect day. It was fun and slow and pretty and everything combined to be as hypnotic as that old man with his guitar strumming.

Jared and I ended up in Chinatown for teriyaki chicken and I started confessing my fears for this flight: I'm nervous, I'm scared, I'm excited, I'm hyperventilating, I'm laughing on the inside and trying to keep that laughter from becoming frantic. It's all going to be all right, I really believe that, but I feel like that little kid who knows the monster in the closet is just clothes but just needs the light to come on before she can really accept it. And as soon as I get to Iceland by myself, it'll all be ok.
