I normally steer clear of tours, but I couldn’t resist the tour around in Cambridge. Led by a current student, we were given a glimpse into life at one of the world’s most famous colleges.
It is a beautiful campus which undoubtedly inspires academic curiosity. It was fascinating to hear stories of former students – Al Gore, Matt Damon, Mark Zuckerberg and others – and to be treated to stories about the traditions and superstitions.
While we were there a reunion picnic was going on. The average age of participants was over 70, and I only just resisted eacesdropping on their conversations – imagine the lives and experiences of the gathered group of nonegenerians! There is something very special about places like Harvard, which make you want to keep on learning.
We only had a couple of days in Boston at the beginning of the trip.
Unsurprisingly we were drawn to the harbour, and sat happily listening to the tinkling of the yacht masts and the calls of seagulls.
The weather was glorious so we headed out into the Bay in search of whales.
We didn’t find any, but it was peaceful out on the water, and some welcome respite from the steaming concrete.
It was lovely to meet up with Jess Greene of Seek Your Course for an afternoon. We sat at a cafe on Newbury Street, watching the world go by and eating the largest pizza I have ever seen!
The man and I returned to Boston at the end of the trip and explored further – more on that later!
Next stop Concord… for a wedding!
