 * What are some of your favorite places in Boston? I really loved reading all of your voice threads, it was neat to see all of the amazing trips you have been on. You are all so creative, the pictures were unique and very well done! I wish I was as lucky as you all when I was your age, I never went on any exciting trips! Now that I live on my own I take every chance I get to travel. **

// Dear Matthew, //

// I'm guessing that you are a huge soccer fan! At Mosaic Stadium I have yet to see a soccer match held there - it's only for football games and every once in awhile a concert. I don't really have a favorite soccer team, but I did play indoor Soccer when I was young! //
