yep, here i am in harvard.......getting a bit tired now - it was a long day. and a bit sad because i had to say goodbye to ray and lily and blade.....they were starting to feel like my second family. they gave me such a great time while i was in their little town and after being 'email buddies' for nearly six years it was wonderful to be able to talk without a little thing called a time difference getting in the way.
so ray and lily, big hugs and kisses from me. massive thanks (again), and let me know when you are closer to getting to my home. i look forward to the day when i'll be able to arrange your australian experience. take care.
and so to boston.
lucky me, yet again i got a window seat on a plane (wide-eyed excitement i know), and this time it was daylight so i was able to see what i was flying over. now i realise how much i should have paid attention during geography lessons.
and guess what? boston has had the same problems with bushfires as new york.
yep, that's right, from what i can see the trees are all brown and dead-looking. of course, it is night time now so i can't really tell. i'll let you know after tomorrow's exploring.
and naturally, harvard doesn't look anything like i'd imagined it. with the exception that the buildings that i've seen so far look very, very, very old. tomorrow i'll take a wander around and take photos for you all.
oh - and the travel adventure wouldn't be complete without another run-in with customs people would it????
this time it was leaving ottawa, going through the american customes section of the airport when they tactfully (?) pointed out to me that the tin of maple syrup i'd bought for myself was tooooooooooooo big to fit their 'liquid' regulations.
DOH..............
so ray, i'll need to see if it's possible for you to post me some.......... :(
ok, i'll leave it here for now - after all i think this makes three posts in one day - and catch you all up sometime tomorrow.
