Boston - Day 2 & Plymouth Rock (Just a big rock)

As I arrive in Warwick, CT, I am gearing up for NYC and trying to ramp down from the excitement of seeing Plymouth Rock. (?????) Been a good trip with lots more colors and neat homes and very "New England" buildings. Still lots of history, good food, and some of the nicest folks you would ever want to meet. They have a little fun with my accent, but it's all good.

The little cutie is Joyce, the lady that rented me her apt. and took me to Harvard for my Ivy League education.

I took the steps, all 295 of them, to the top of the monument for Bunker Hill, and I am still alive. Now I know why there are "landings" every so often. Then a long walk back through the city of Boston. My legs and heart are really getting a workout. (After that huge peanut butter cookie I needed it.)

More on food, people, sights, and conversations when I get back. Till then, enjoy and know that I do feel your presence.

Boston - Day 1

What an interesting day this has been.

History just "oozes" in this town. I have been walking for nearly 6 hours and still haven't gotten to everything I want to touch. Ben Franklin, Paul Revere, The old North Church, Faneuil Hall, etc, etc, etc. You'll have to get with me when, (and if) I get back home to get the full picture. Here are some pic's though and I hope you enjoy.

There are enough sports bars in this town that even with the Patriots playing, I was able to find the Saints game. Ain't it great.

Enjoy!

Love ya bunches,

Eddiemoore goes to Harvard

Yep, that's right. Yesterday I went to Harvard and actually sat in on a class. The lady, Joyce, that is renting her apt. to me goes there, Harvard Business School, and took me with her yesterday just prior to her leaving for NYC this weekend. It just so happened that the lecture was by the President of American Red Cross and she was awesome. Joyce introduced me as being from MS, formally in the Air Force, as well as a Katrina survivor, and the whole group applauded and did I feel special. (At least until these kids starting talking and asking questions. These are 20 year old kids, and they think and talk like intellectual professors. Maybe our futures isn't in quite as much trouble as I thought). Any way, now I have been to Harvard and taken a class. (Whowudathunkit????)

So, here I am, alone in the apt., and because it is nasty outside, rain, fog, quite cold, I am taking the day off. Laundry, updating pics, updating my blog, catching up on email and phone calls, and waiting for "FOOTBALL".

Therefore, here are pics from yesterday and hopefully tomorrow there will be plenty of Boston to share.
