Boston

Not quite as exotic as Europe, but a fun little trip nonetheless. I went to Cambridge, MA to see some old friends. I stayed with Cristina, my freshman roommate from Caltech. She was producing “Chicago” at MIT—I was quite impressed with the performance. I also got to see Vicente (From ‘tech) and Andres and Brian (from Stanford). I got a short tour of the chemistry department at Harvard—wow! Very classy. Definitely some money went into those labs. Thanks Andres and Brian!

Andres took me into the Harvard Museum to see the mineral rocks and glass flowers—pretty impressive, they look completely real. I went to the Star Wars exhibit at the Museum of Science with Cris, and got my picture taken with Darth Vader. Then we went on a Duck Tour of Boston in one of those done up WWII vehicles that go on land and water. A final run around Boston before I left lead me around the Freedom Trail. Yes, there is indeed a Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse located in the old City Hall building. All in all, a rather successful two-day trip.
