Day 4 - Boston in a day

Last day ladies and gents!

It has been an amazing, exciting, riveting, exausting and hilarious weekend spent in Massachusetts with my Sister and my Cousin!

This morning we were graced with an extra hour of much needed sleep because of day light saving time! Book thrilled!

We packed up and left our Airbnb at 8:30 am and went directly to starbucks. Typical at this point ;)

We went to our last stop in Salem which was the Salem Witch Memorial. It has all 19 victims names on stones with flowers on them. 

This was unbelievably moving for some reason and really made the stories and the atmosphere unbelievably real! These were real people with real lives and families and jobs who were accused, tried and hung. Witches or not, their lives were taken from them unjustly.

This is Sarah Goods plaque. I did a monologue on her in my third year of university and she is absolutely fascinating! She was the second women to be accused.

From this moving memorial we made our way to the one, the only, HARVARD UNIVERSITY !

We went to the campus store and then bought tickets to a student run tour service where we got an up close and personal view of the school and all its history!

Our first stop on the tour were Johnston Gates!

Our main goal was to recreate the Gilmore Girls scene! 

SUCCESSFUL! 

The most expensive building on Campus! The security box!

The pee-covered-lucky-shoe of the Harvard statue! 

My illegal photo of their Hogwarts- esque dining hall !

The history filled Library which goes underground as well!

Facebook was invented in this house!

Natalie Portman dormed here and so did Matt Damon, which is also where he wrote Goodwill Hunting!

The Lampoon house! The office and secret society of the editors and writers of Harvards comedy magazine, that Conan OBrien once ran!

After our informative and historic tour or Harvard we went to the Boston Public Garden (which was BEAUTIFUL!) to find Robin Williams bench.

This was another moving moment for us as we recently found out that a family friend of ours passed away and was struggling with similar issues as Robin Williams. 

We wrote a message on the bench and took a moment to show our respects and take a quick photo. 

Still sad about Robin Williams :(

The bench was inspiring though to see the hundreds of messages from complete strangers written to a man they've never met but still cared so deeply about.

After this beautiful experience we continued to wonder around Boston for our last 3 hours in the city.

We wrapped up and went to Logan Airport where we found that our flight is DELAYED!!!!!!!! Ughhhhhhhhh 

I teach tomorrow and have about 6000 things to do tonight, but an hour behind schedule is fine I guess ahha

So this is where I end our weekend

journey to the east end of the country. 

New England, it's been a time! See Ya Soon!
