While we are all working very hard at our nonprofit organizations, we are also finding plenty of time to go on “urban adventures”, walking and riding around the city to visit historic landmarks and neighborhoods, find tasty food, and experience everything Boston has to offer. Through the first two weeks, our group has spent a lot of time together on these adventures with Professor Malone and also on our own independent expeditions, sharing smiles and laughter and forming new friendships along the way. Here is a small sampling of what we’ve been up to!
