finally got up a reasonable hour today. the last couple of days i've hit the alarm clock and gone back to sleep til nearly noon, which i hate doing when i'm on vacation. there's so much to do and see in this city, and time to spend with family it seems such a waste to spend more than the minimum necessary hours in bed.

coffee, breakfast, reorientation with my present location, and hit the streets with momma montgomery. there a handful, a handful?, sorry, a plethora of photographic exhibits in this down, which i began to track down this morning. visited the new england school of photography and viewed the 2003 graduate student exhibitions. some of them were good, but i have to admit i was a little disappointed. i would think with such good facilities, and teachers that the work would have blown me away. but it really didn't seem that much better than alot of what came out of the school that i studied at, for about 1% of the cost. oh, well, more exhibits to come.

oh, other highlights thus far. sunday afternoon we caught a juventus vs. barcelona friendly soccer match at the new england patriots stadium, in foxboro, ma. great game with a tied score and shootouts. its exciting to see this nation getting more excited about such a great sport.

ok then, i'm off... more soon.
