We were meeting in the hostel lobby at 11am to go on a tour to Harvard, so I went out for a walk at 9am. I walked along Bolyton Street where they run the Boston marathon and where the bombings were. There's some pretty cool churches down that end of town. I passed through a nice little park that had some nice gardens and fountains. Met everyone back at the hostel at 11 and we caught the train to Harvard for a tour. It was quite interesting and there are so many...

We got up, had bagels for brekky and hit the road around 9am. We drove around 4 hours to Boston.

It was a nice ride, with free onboard wifi, and I arrived in Boston at 12.45pm. In the food court at the massive bus terminal I noticed a pretzel shop called Auntie Anne's. As...
