Dobrodošli natrag and Dobrodošli nazaj. I have just returned to Cambridge after travelling to Croatia and Slovenia with Embark Inclusive Travel. Although it was not a formal Threshold trip, we had a great time with many alumni. We had a small group (15 people, including the staff) and I got a twin/single room for theContinue reading “Croatia and Slovenia”

Hatch Shell, Sleepovers with Mia, Brunch Club
On Friday, I took the Red Line to Kendall/MIT and then a shuttle bus to Charles MGH to explore the area around the Hatch Shell. It was a nice area, even though there were no events going on. I had been to the Beacon Street area before, but it was my first time exploring theContinue reading “Hatch Shell, Sleepovers with Mia, Brunch Club”
Boston Exploring/Harbor (Wang Theatre, Harbor, Fenway), Boston Fashion Show Fourth of July
This was my first Fourth of July in Cambridge, and I had a blast. Mom and Dad even came out because Mia was away, so they wanted to keep me company. On Friday and Sunday nights, I even stayed at the Charles Hotel with them. But I did a lot over the days leading upContinue reading “Boston Exploring/Harbor (Wang Theatre, Harbor, Fenway), Boston Fashion Show Fourth of July”
Munch, Pickleball, Van Gogh
Another solo but busy weekend. To help me prepare for Croatia, I packed my suitcase, backpack, and purse on Saturday and visited the Harvard Art Museum. Since my suitcase was too wide to fit in the lockers, an ambassador checked my things in for me. I saw the Munch Art Exhibition that Mom had previouslyContinue reading “Munch, Pickleball, Van Gogh”
Pizza Festival, Heat Wave
On Saturday, we went to the Boston Pizza Festival at City Hall Plaza, where the Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl Haven was located. It was fun, but they didn’t have any gluten-free pizza vendors. On top of that, I got separated from Mia for part of it. Eventually, I ran into Jeff, who is another ThresholdContinue reading “Pizza Festival, Heat Wave”
Lexington Concert, Bunker Hill Weekend/USS Constitution, Meeting Rena
On Thursday, since I did not have my volunteer job, I participated in a Cambridge Common Voices lunch concert at Rakability in Lexington. Unlike many of our other concerts, this one was in an office building, and people watched it over their lunch break. Mia and I attended an alumni event at The Yard inContinue reading “Lexington Concert, Bunker Hill Weekend/USS Constitution, Meeting Rena”
Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl, New York, Dragon Boat Festival
After my volunteer job on Thursday, we attended the Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl in Government Center. It is an all-you-can-eat ice cream festival and a nice way to beat the heat. Neither Mia nor I had never been but it was supporting a cancer institute and we had both encountered family losses to cancer soContinue reading “Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl, New York, Dragon Boat Festival”
Musical Bingo Night, North End/Street Performer Festival
Last Wednesday, we attended an alumni event at Mighty Kitchen in Kenmore Square, but the venue canceled the musical bingo. It was still fun, though, and we got to chat and hang out with other alumni. We played a couple of games, and most people ordered drinks. I also found out that I will beContinue reading “Musical Bingo Night, North End/Street Performer Festival”
Stars Game,
With so much chaos, I spent a week and a half at home, and it was nice to get a chance to regroup before officially diving into the summer. As part of our official kickoff, along with Tom, we went to a Chicago Women’s Soccer Game at SeatGeek Stadium, about 20 minutes from the house.Continue reading “Stars Game,”
Open Mic Night, Alumni BBQ
Last Saturday, Cambridge Common Voices was invited to perform with the Longfellow Symphony Orchestra. Unlike at Berklee College, where we lost a lot of time with no plan, we were the first act. Some singers watched the rest of the orchestra, but Dylan and I headed home after, even travelling together, On Tuesday night, CambridgeContinue reading “Open Mic Night, Alumni BBQ”
