Day 28

We woke up to a sprinkling of snow on the ground and 32 degrees. We drove to the town of Quincy and took a subway into downtown Boston. Taking the subway was much easier than trying to find parking near all the sights we wanted to see.

I don't think the temperature got about 40 degrees all day. We were glad we brought our big jackets.

We signed up and took a double decker trolley all over Boston. We could get on and off at our pleasure. I think we got on and off at least 10 times.

On a tour boat cruise, we saw the bay side of the MIT Campus. The large dome structure in the left of the photo has been the brunt of many pranks played over the years by the MIT students. The best one we were told was that one morning students woke up to a Boston Police car was setting on top of the dome with a police maniquin at the wheel. To this day they haven't been able to figure out how the students got the car up there.

Here is a small view of the Harvard Campus. We were told that only 7% of the students who apply get accepted and that it costs about $65,000 a year to attend.
WoW!
We walked around downtown and made a quick visit to the Cheers bar from the tv series Cheer. I walked down the stairs and peered in at the bar and was surprised to see how small the bar was. I figure it was only a quarter size of the tv series bar.

Here is Dug checking out the little bit of snow we recieved overnight.
