Beantown

I mean, of course, there's the "Boston Baked Beans" thing, so it's called Beantown, right? But...were baked beans really invented there? I somehow doubt it.

Yet you're off to Boston. Why don't they call it "Tea Town" or "Attucks Attack Town" or something else? Maybe you can ask while you are there.

It's cool that you're getting to travel. It's one of the best things to do and I hope to do more. My stepfather worked for an airline when I was a kid so we got to travel a lot, and cheaply. I think it cost us $10 per flight. Amazing. We got to see Denver, Seattle, Florida. There were a lot of places I wish I had gotten to earlier, but...still.

So immerse yourself in the culture. Try some clam chowder. Heck, try the stupid beans.
