Lizzie the Brave Explorer: September 2012

Friday, 7 September 2012

It's been a busy summer....

...but I'm back in neo-Cambridge now.
I have to tell you about all of my adventures!
They were not brave, or explorer-y, but did involve junk food (SPOILER ALERT - oreo donuts, filled with "kreme", at 5am. Terrible error. Obviously)

Things to do in Boston

Prepare and eat some kale, the most mysterious and American of the leafy greens
