We woke up to another starbucks morning.  After we got our coffee fix we took off for a trip to Harvard.  (To be honest, both UW and UofO are much more beatiful.)  We took a stroll around the Yard and through the campus.  There were some beautiful old buildings, but with only summer school being in session there wasn’t much activity going on.  We found a beautiful fountain in the shade for a quick cool down, then took off for the Brattle Street walk.  Wandering through the Cambridge Common around the Old Burying Ground we strolled into the L.A. Burdick cafe.  Where we found two chocolate assortments in competition, one listed as the Obama Assortment and one as the McCain Assortment.  Obama was ahead 6k to 2k.  After tasting a tremendous Burdick bar we headed on down Brattle Street to take a look at some wonderful houses.  They were extremely large and extravigant, could only imagine their surroundings when they were originally built in the 1700′s.

After a stroll through Brattle Street we headed back towards the T, stopped by the Harvard COOP along the way and then back to our Hotel to relax by the pool before we head out for dinner on our last night in Boston. 

Of course I wore the bib

By the way, this is my (Brian) first blog of the trip, probably obvious, but thought I’d let you know just in case.
