lost in boston

No, that's not really Kyoto. I've never been to Japan, much less been there alone. But during particular moments when I walk to work in the Back Bay, I feel like Charlotte in Lost in Translation (though I'm pretty much lost anywhere). Those walks remind me of Charlotte walking through the busy streets with her clear plastic umbrella but also of when she's by herself in the gardens. Copley is my favorite area in Boston, the perfect combination of city and town. I'll miss going there twice a week next year.
