by Rich62 - last update: May 27, 2008

WE PAHKED THE CAH IN HAHVAHD YAHD!

HARVARD UNIVERSITY
WE ALWAYS VISIT COLLEGE CAMPUSES ON OUR TRAVELS AND SO FAR, NOTRE DAME HAD BEEN AT THE TOP OF OUR LIST FOR OUR "BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS" AWARD. However, Harvard is now right up there with the Fighting Irish.

History: THE BIRTHPLACE OF A NATION

HISTORY COMES ALIVE WHEN YOU VISIT THE HALLOWED GROUND WHERE OUR FOUNDING FATHERS CARVED A NATION OUT OF BEDROCK.

in the photo: Faneuil Hall, where the concept of "no taxation without representation" was first proclaimed.

FOR FUN, IT'S THE DUCKBOATS!

PLUS YOU WILL LEARN A LOT TOO! these are World War 2 amphibious landing craft, refurbished for tourism. You start on dry land, and later plunge into the Charles River. Our driver was absolutely excellent. Funny and informative. Check my "things to do" tips for more duckboat information.
