my oldest brother john arrived in philadelphia late on wednesday night, and i met up with him, eddie and ria in chinatown for a late dinner at dave's mai lai wah, their old watering hole. food was delicious and cheap, as usual, and it was just a good time. thursday we had dinner at amada (jose garces' tapas restaurant in old city), which i have been trying to get into forever, but never make reservations ahead of time. we all had the chef's tasting and their lobster paella. the sangria and tapas were amazing, and the paella was made with squid ink and really good (even tho it arrived a bit on the cold side).
after we parted ways, and john left for the airport, i met up with liz, erica, danW and jared who were out celebrating erica's birthday. after a short stint at bonner's we went back to liz&erica's apartment and had funfetti cake (my favorite!) and snuck up to the roof for a beautiful 360degree view of the city. i went home and packed and got about three hours of sleep. was back up at 5am to get ready and catch the train to the airport for my 7am flight to manchester. man, it was a rough morning. harvard picked me up from the airport and dropped me off here - john's office at brigham&women's hospital in boston. my parents got into town last night and my dad is getting a spinal injection to help with his disk herniations. oh, dear.
however, i am excited to be in boston and with family, oddly enough. can't wait to see my niece, natalie, who is turning three in a few days, and my five-month-old nephew, dylan. hopefully though, i find some time to work on my senior design project because that deadline is fast approaching - one week!!
