Harvard Yard

Last week J and I spent the night in Cambridge. Cambridge, and Harvard Square in particular, are special to us. When we first started dating he was doing a lot of work down around town, so most of our dates happened there. It was perfect, both of us where already slightly out of our element, no one had an advantage or felt more comfortable. Now we're old hats, with our favorite places and things to do. Something we've never done is wander around Harvard Yard together.

It's such an amazing place, steeped in history. As soon as you step through the gates you could be anywhere in the world. The city disappears.

Taken from the inside looking out.

The Yard is open to all. Chairs are strewn about to make lounging and reading more inviting. 

This young lady was my favorite. Look how well read her book is!

Don't forget to rub John's toe!

After wandering around for a bit and laughing at J trying to apply his high school Latin to some of the plaques and carvings, we headed to Charlie's for a beer. It's not fancy, but it's cheap and fun.

Good night, Harvard...
