Pahk the cah in Hahvahd Yahd! Part II

At the JFK Memorial.  We read up on Jack's win over
Tricky Dick (Nixon) and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The JFK Memorial had one of the biggest
American  flags I've ever seen.

After, we set a new course for Harvard.

Lunch was burgers and unlimited mint iced tea. We then
went to buy ivy league campus wear for Mom and Dad.
Mostly for Dad.
We went on an official Hahvahd Yahd tour, which was free and
ran by undergrads.

Uhhh....Hogwarts?


This place was really cool.  Okay, it wasn't
the huge one in NYC, but it still is worth
taking a look.

OMG! This thing's HUGE!!!

A great thing about the Natural History Museum was all
the hilariously posed papier mache and taxidermy animals.
Many were smiling. Some looked just straight up weird. 

We had a nice talk with a professor of anthropology
and his assistant. They were studying some ancient
canoes from Alaska. Also, Adrienne's jaw dropped when we
came across the library. I guess she's not used to such
a massive repository of literature and resources at her uni.

Photo bomb!!!

After Harvard, we trained it near Fenway Park
to have burritos at a joint my brother's friend
suggested.  It was perhaps the best burrito I've
ever had in my life, and the price was right too.
Notice it's as big as my umbrella.

After dinner, we saw a Red Sox game.  It's a hallowed institution
in Boston, so we figured why not? They were playing the Detroit Tigers.

The place was full-house, standing room only.  I'm not
a baseball fan, but the crowd was great and watching the game
was fun!  I really liked singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."  

We left at the bottom of the 9th. The Sox were losing and
no bases were loaded. I had a great time regardless.
