Exploring the City

Ducks!

A celebratory game of Duck, Duck, Goose just broke out at Boston Common. -G

Harvard Yard

Just after lunch, we stopped at Harvard University and learned the history behind this prestigous school. All student must dorm in their first year and our guide pointed out where Al Gore and JFK roomed. Harvard has the country's 2nd largest library and students used to have to pass a swim test to get a library card.  Boston is full of stories surrounding every building and tradition. -G

This is the hard rock cafe. It was a lot of fun and the food wasnt half bad

Freedom Trail- Henry

With the red bricks leading the way, we just saw many famous places.  It was fun to see Paul Revere's cemetery,  the Boston common, and the Old North Church.

This is the second largest library in the US and the world.

You can't park your car in Harvard yard. - Henry

When local Bostonians wanted everyone to have education, they made a very small college called Harvard.  Today, Harvard is one of the best colleges in the country. 

This church is called church court condo. It burned down in 1969. They didn't have the money to replace it but they could protect it. It basically didn't do anything after- lindsey haas

We're waiting in the lobby, ready to leave.
