A couple of times when I had work there I'd stay a few days. I worked in Boston quite a bit and would rent a room for the duration. I enjoyed walking around the different areas but unless there was some event I was headed back to New Hampshire Friday afternoon. My mental health requires mountains. I took what was supposed to be a 3 month gig in Indiana that lasted for a year and a half. Except for the southern part of the state it's flatter than hell. I'd ride my bicycle for miles looking at soybeans, turn around, and look at more soybeans. It's rather hard to take a leak when all there is are knee high soybeans. At least with corn you can disappear.
