Monday was a gorgeous day in Boston. The sun was shining, the humidity was gone thanks to Hurricane Irene, and we enjoyed a long - long walk following the Freedom Trail and then taking the T out to Harvard. It was so nice to just follow a line in the sidewalk to get to where we were going. We did do a few things of the "trail" but it was so easy to get back on that it didn't matter.

We had such a nice time walking around Boston. One thing that made it really enjoyable was we downloaded a free walking tour from iTunes and had it while we walked around. It was so nice not to have our noses stuffed in a book and be able to look up and enjoy the views! Most of the attractions were free or a donated was asked. Some we gave to, some we didn't.
After walking miles on the Freedom Trail we decided to hop on the T and head out to Harvard. We figured if we were so close we might as well :) That was another nice thing about Boston - everything is so close.
Harvard was kind of like I excepted it. We walked onto the campus and there was just groups of people sitting around on the grass talking - just like in the movies. It was quite strange to get off the T, walk across the street and be on the campus. Though Jason and I both went to college in the middle of wheat fields - so that is a new concept for us. We didn't stay there for too long. It had been quite a day and there wasn't really much to see and we weren't allowed in the library...so we were really only there for about 20 minutes. Enough to say we've been there...
