So, I just returned from Boston, Massachusetts and I must say I love that city! I loved listening to people say Harvard; it sounds more like Ha-verd. It is so rich in American history and I fell in love with it the moment I got there (well, the moment after we reached our hotel after being trapped in the subway not knowing where we were going and carrying our luggage (about three people's bags weighed 50 pounds!)). I have been back east before, but I must say that Boston is my new favorite place. We saw just about all of Boston and walked a lot. I wish I would have had either Mandy's or Brooke's pedometer with me! That would have been sweet. Anyway, I must say that I am a Baltimore Orioles fan, but after visiting Boston and seeing the legendary Fenway Park, the Red Sox could be my second-favorite team (not to jump on the bandwagon or anything). Fenway was amazing and being a baseball fan, I absolutely loved it. Unfortunately we weren't able to attend a game, but maybe next time.
We walked two miles to get to Harvard Square, and I don't feel any smarter after being to the most prestigious university in America. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty neat to be standing where some of the most intellectual minds have stood, but I must say I love Utah State and the mountains that surround it! Harvard seemed more of a tourist attraction than a university to me.
The Freedom Trail was amazing and Cheers looked just like it does on TV! Amazing! So, anyway, Boston is a cool place to go and I recommend it to anyone--history fanatic or not!
Dallin! I love Boston too! I can't believe you were at Haw-verd and didn't stop in to see the manuscripts of the Emdog (Emily E. Dickinson). Tsk. Tsk.
