Today was our first experience of city life in Boston. First of all there was an early morning start at Hamilton train station. After taking a few trains to Harvard we finally arrived at our destination Harvard square. Once there we were able to go around the 'Coop' which is the Harvard university book/merchandise store. Next we got our tour around Harvard university campus. This was a nice area and it was really cool to see what one of the world's best universities looked like. The next stop was the Museum of Natural History, which meant we could see lots of different unusual things around the museum.
After a good time in Harvard we headed towards the Italian end of Boston to discover the exquisite tastes of Mike's Pastries. After stocking up on the delicious taste sensations their products provided we eventually headed back to the train station to head home. Following a long day some people nodded off allowing for a perfect picture opportunity. When we finally arrived at Hamilton, we became confused as to which end we should get off the train (most train stations have a raised section to the platform where passengers get on and off the trains). We guessed wrong and the train driver decided to set off before we managed to get to the right door! Luckily the train operator stopped it for us and we could get off safely. this was an interesting end to the day (and didn't seem to suggest that any of us would be getting to Harvard any time soon!) Overall it was a good day with a lot of fun events
