Cruising Caimbridge

Today we headed out to the MIT Museum, Harvard, and the MEME gallery!

We were going to eat a quick breakfast at a McDonald's or whatever fast food place we found on our way to the MIT Museum, but no dice! We did not see ANY place to eat. In desperation, we stopped at an ice cream store, which had a breakfast sandwich station for some bizarre reason.

Our had salmon, tomatoes, eggs, and green onions. Delicious!

Our next stop was the MIT Museum. It was A LOT of fun. It was like a kids museum- for grown ups!
Waiting, waiting, enjoying our coffee.

We met up with Brad Benedetti, Cathy's friend from Jr. High and High School. He lives nearby and recommended the MIT Museum to us.
They had neat hologram pictures.

And robots!

And cool shirts in the gift shop!


This bike shop was across the street from the museum.

Brad also took us to MIT- we walked through some of the buildings and pretended that we belonged there. :)

This mirror thing was outside one of the cooler MIT buildings. Note the umbrella- it rained almost all day. The hotel loaned us an umbrella.

Brad was in charge of lunch. He took us to The Friendly Toast.

After lunch, Brad and Cathy indulged in their mutual love of thrift stores. Brad whisked us to The Garment District.

They had a floor covered with clothes. Knee deep.
They cost $1.50 a POUND! (1.00/lb on Fridays!)

There were other more organized areas, equally as fabulous. Unfortunately I did not get a picture. I will go back later this week- they had DEALS at this store!
We stopped off at the gallery Brad co-owns with some friends- pretty neat!

Then we headed off to Harvard. I was too in awe to get many pictures. In fact, I only got pictures of one of the dining halls. Here it is:

A. Dining. Hall.

Where students EAT.

Did we mention that this is a DINING HALL? Brad took this contraband picture for me- I chickened out a the last second. (It said NO PICTURES everywhere, but Brad has awesome stealth skillz.)

We bid Brad adieu, then headed off to pick up supplies in our sweet new ponchos.

Our bounty of home food- the finest Walgreen's has to offer that does not need refrigeration and can be cooked with nothing but a coffee maker. Brad has stealth skillz, we have cheap skillz.

Tomorrow we're off to the Freedom Trail, the North End for Italian food, and dinner with another friend of Cathy's- we can't wait to see Nakita! :)
