You know, I've found the most enjoyable parts of life are when you get the chance to learn new things. For example, did you know that there are two separate 1 Boylston Places in Boston? Yeah, it's true. One is where a lovely engagement party is going to be this evening. The other, located in what would best be described as a not good section of town, is where the Garmin sent us last night.
This is, of course, entirely our own fault. We should have known we were going in the wrong direction from the start when we knew we should be getting on the highway, but Garmin told us to keep going down Washington Street. We thought that it maybe knew some fun back road that would be faster, maybe down the VFW parkway. No, it was just sending us to entirely the wrong place. At one time we were on a street that I honestly thought was a movie set; I never knew that a street could be that deserted at 9:30 on a Friday night. It wasn't until we could seeing Boston in the distance, but Garmin told us that we were 100 feet from our destination that we finally decided that perhaps the GPS is leading us astray.
Also, did you know that Garmins can sound annoyed? I swear to God, after the fifth or six time that we ignored her directions, her saying "Recalculating" started to take on a tone of being pissed at us.
Whatever, we had a grand time being lost on roads in Boston that I had never been on before. But next time I'm going to double-check Garmin's results before I go anywhere with her.
