BOSTON - POST SCRIPT

16th March 2011

Following on.......I will try to attach the photos that I was so rudely told by my 'blogmeister' that there wasn't room for. I managed to escape Boston before St Paddy's Day, you will be relieved to hear. Phew!

Left: This is the statue of John Harvard who founded the University. Note: He does not have a traffic cone on his head. This decorative formality has not yet caught on in American seats of learning.

Right: Their library. Forgotten the name of it. I'm sure it holds the complete collection of the great Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' novels, and a few other good books.

........and some general views of the 'campus', which are pretty boring but may be of interest to those few who are interested in Universities. Very few 'students' around. Not many good pubs around the local area either (Cambridge). They probably all drink in 'shebeens' or similar.

Left: Statue of ducks in the Boston Common Gardens, entitled 'Give Way to the Ducks'. Someone has added on the necklaces.

Right, that's definitely it from Boston. Now have to back-Amtrak a bit to New York ( 5 hours ), wait 5 hours in Penn station until 0715hrs the next morning,  then ( 9.5 hours ) to Niagara Falls. I might be looking for someone who makes good barrels...............
