Outbound to Wonderland





So here we are, last stop of the trip, in Boston, Massachusetts. It poured down for the entire drive from New Hampshire but has miraculously cleared up and has been beautiful and sunny today.

Today we checked out Harvard...along with the new freshers, as they were all enrolling for the new year. We went on a walking tour led by two Harvard students, showing us the sights of Harvard Yard. Like lots of places in America, it felt a bit familiar....all the films which have been set there no doubt! It was a really pretty campus, impressive red brick buildings and lots of trees.

We also had a wander round Quincy market which was great - it felt a little like Boston's version of Covent Garden, but with fewer people! We also had a look round the Boston Public Library, which is a stunning place, more like a museum or art gallery than a library.

One final thing that I liked about Boston today - we were on the subway, and on one of the lines you could go to Wonderland. Now that's friendly.
