Oz here. I've been neglecting this blog out of sheer laziness and the fact that, due to retarded touch typing, I can't use my laptop's keyboard very well (that word alone took four tries...). Anyway, it's my turn to fill you in on what we've been up to. Before that, however, I feel I need to defend myself. Yesterday, after our sightseeing we went to Newbury St to a boutique and I did indeed purchase a pair of reasonably expensive jeans. Li may have passed this off as mere flippant extravagance but these trousers are not mere jeans. They are Nudie Jeans! Basically, they're raw selvedge denim with natural indigo dye which, as you wear it, stretches and fades naturally to your individual style. You wear them for four to six months before the first wash and then, when they come out of the washer, they're uniquely faded and fully broken in.
Being raw denim, however, there is a brief teething period where they're like wearing sandpaper. Tight, expensive sandpaper.Now that that's cleared up, we can move on to today! We both got up at a decent hour (not normally worth mentioning but, through a wonderful side effect from the jet lag, I can now wake up at 9am rather than sleeping in past lunch) and, after breakfast, headed downtown with Richard, Lori and the twins for a walk around the park and Boston Common. While we were there, we had a ride
on the swan boats and had a chance to look out at the scenery in and around the park.After that it was back home and everyone had a nap (although some were more willing than others...) and we finished the day off eating out at an Indian restaurant. No onion baji on the menu though =( I guess they really are hard to find out here.
Tomorrow we're off to Burlington Mall to make the most of the exchange rate. Until our next update, please enjoy these photos of Li eating a lemon:
1: Insert lemon
2: Carefully extract juices
3: Swallow (remove lemon first)
4: Pull stupid face (your companions will have left by now. Seriously, what the hell are you doing?)
