My Journey Round The World

279 days on the road…



Cambridge-Harvard – Beacon Hill

2009-SEPTEMBRE-USA-boston

First day on my own, in an unknown city… At least I can speak the language, even if I need to ask people to repeat from time to time – it’s too quick! So yesterday I went to visit the prestigious Harvard campus. Harvard Yard is a nice & peaceful area with many seats to have a rest or to study! Colorfull chairs everywhere in the garden, snacks around, nice cantine (only for students) as in Harry Potter!

In the Cambridge city around I discover an interesting project, the Wheel Questions: It’s an art installation touring outdoor public spaces. You can write a question on a card, and Johnny will turn it over and write an answer on the back from a secular philosophy about thinking clearly and being proactive. The cards are posted online (http://wheelquestions.org) and on a big outdoor wheel for everyone to be inspired by. So funny to find out that this philosophy is really close of my way of thinking since I start to organise this adventure…

Here you can also find people asking for money while chatting on the phone…

Then, I head toward the lovely Beacon Hill area! Walking through Charles & Mount Vernon Street which combine fashionable boutiques & contemporary restaurants, cobblestone streets, bricks side walk, gas street lanterns… which characterize is Victorian charm!

After this nice charming promenade, I end up at Boston Common & Public Garden, where I took a rest while drinking a refreshing Lemonade :) watching such small kids already training for baseball & little squirrels all over the place. :)

And true, I need to apologies for missing the flight… SORRY!!! Steph & THANK  YOU & Freddy for this nice relaxing days at home :)
