BOSTON!! (11/18-19/06)
on saturday morning i went to boston together with marlen (a german aupair). when we arrived we directly get started with the boston freedom trail.
afterwards we checked in in our hotel. and we couldn't get out this evening because we didn't find any place which would accept a passport copy (like they do in nyc ;) ). so we bought a big cup of ben & jerrys icecream and had a nice and slow evening in bed in front of the tv. and we were very fit on sunday :) (funnily enough the bars and clubs in boston are closing at two in the morning...)
commonwealth avenue
boston common
- Boston Common
- Massachusetts State House
- Park Street Church
- Granary Burying Ground
- King's Chapel
- King's Chapel Burying Ground
- Benjamin Franklin statue and site of the first public school
- Old Corner Bookstore
- Old South Meeting House
- Old State House
- Site of the Boston Massacre
- Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market
- Paul Revere House
- Old North Church
after that we took the "T" (subway) to cambridge and visited harvard and harvard square. gosh!! i felt in love with this college! all the way back in the bus on sunday i was dreaming about a choice to study in harvard. i would do so much to get there. ilene studied there and i'm so jealous now :( the whole campus and especially the dining hall looked so nice warm and old fashioned, like in "harry potter", if you saw the movie...
the best universities in the u.s. are harvard, yale, princeton and columbia (where my englishclass is *proud*). on saturday there was a football game between harvard and yale at harvard. so the whole campus was full of young people (besides the fact that there are about 50 colleges in the boston area, so the city is necessarily very young) who were either wearing harvard or yale sweaters. and we had the double chance to meet some intelligent, good-looking (and rich ;) ) guys, but we totally failed :( :( :(

on sunday morning we checked out and went to the prudential tower to get an overview over boston.
afterwards we took a look at newbury street, a street with small shops in nearly every houses first floor.
a "boston bean" and me
then we took a tour through the public library - the first free public library in the u.s.. it's an amazing building and again it just looked like in harry potter...
then we saw trinity church
and walked down commonwealth avenue, a very beautiful street with a park in the middle, to the public garden boston common. all i can tell: it's such a gorgeous city! and of course we did some shopping at "filene's basement" :)

wednesday 11-15-06
last wednesday i had only to work in the very morning (and in the gym, of course). so after that i went to the metropolitan museum of art. it was very nice but so huge that you could easily get lost - like we did several times. we planned to take a tour concerning the highlights of the museum. but abter about 15 minutes ewe lost our guide and we really couldn't find her again - it was so crazy! like she just beamed herself away. and of course we didn't finish our self-made tour through the whole museum. but ilka has a membership card from her hostparents so we'll definitely go there again :)
