Day #1

Our flights were smooth, and we were all seated close together -- a first!!!  We arrived in Boston around 4:30, East Coast time.  We were immediately whisked off in the MOST BEAUTIFUL tour bus any of us have ever seen.  We met our very nice guide and bus driver.  We had a great look at the Cambridge neighborhood, including an incredible Frank Gehry building, designed to look different (and BETTER) than the primarily block shaped buildings of M.I.T.  We then got out at Harvard.  It was very fun - they are getting ready for graduations next Thursday.  Lots of graduates-to-be taking the opportunity for some fabulous photos (also a bride and groom!!).  We walked around and saw the buildings that have housed George Washington, John F. Kennedy, Bill Gates, Henry David Thoreau, Tommy Lee Jines (who roomed with Al Gore!) and Matt Damon.  What a great start!!!!
