these Harvard types!

came out of the metro (called the 'T' here) tunnel at Harvard Square, and found myself in a whole different world! impromptu bands sitting around playing music, coffees and cigarettes everywhere, intellectual talk (i'm assuming!) around the sidewalk tables.. a man could get used to hanging out with these types!

at night we went out to Wally's, which has become a landmark of the Boston nightlife, and listened to some decent jazz. had a couple of beers and wings at John Harvard's, which is another landmark of Boston.. so all in all it's a meet-the-city tour, going pretty good. like all big cities, the night time skyline along the river is beautiful.. i kinda forgot how big cities can be like living in Buffalo as i have been!

a walk through the Harvard campus late at night, admiring very vast libraries, very ancient buildings and some very comic stories about Harvard myths rounded off the tour. today i go on a walking trip around Cambridge, which is the other half of Boston city across the Charles River.. i've heard good things about a Punjabi restaurant around here, plus i gotta hit the other hallowed institution, MIT!!

apologies for the lack of pics, still don't have a camera
