12 Noon, Chris is done with work
12:30, lunch at IVY with GC
3:00 return to hotel to drop off computer
Me: are you going to nap?
Chris: No, I don't think so
Me: OK
Chris: :snore:

LOL! He' tired.

So, today Chris got to sleep in. It was nice.

Then we went to Hahvahd to visit Ralphie and tour the Natural History Museum (ancient taxadermy animals) and see some fabulous art at the Fogg museum. Now, we're back at the hotel until we meet the boys for Chinese in Chinatown.

Last night, we ate at a really swanky restaurant in downtown called Mantra. Fantastic food and ambience.

My body is just about worn out with all of the walking. It feels great to walk everywhere but I'm certainly not used to it.

Tomorrow we'll go back up to the lab to see what's on the slap then shivver in ...............Salem with the ghosts of whitches past. Somewhere in there, I'm having lobster.

No lobster - at least to eat, but we did have a fantastic day with Ralphie and GC. We first went to Walden Pond and hiked around for a bit. There was a really good actor playing Thoreau who invited us into his tiny tiny cabin and, after being initially freaked out, I loved listening to and chatting with him. I'm amazed how close to civilization proper a completely rural area lies.

We then went off to Salem and wandered around there for the afternoon. I took way too many pictures in the graveyard, searched for black cat items and walked out to a lighthouse in the harbor. We found many old pottery shards lying about that presumably were dredged up from the bottom of the bay. There is also a replica of a tall ship moored on the spit of land that holds the lighthouse. I misread the name as "Friend of Satan" (it was called Friend of Salem

).

We then went back to Harvard for a tour of Ralphie's lab and a visit with pickled deep sea creatures.

It was a fabulous day spent exploring new places with great friends. I am utterly exhauster but satisfied.

Tomorrow we will pack our belongings, take one last excursion and get on a plane home to kitties. But, I WILL miss sweet Frodo when I'm gone. He's turned into an AWSOME dog (with awsome parents).

To add to NA's account, we saw the whale-Koi of Walden Pond - quite impressive - and great fun talking about Steven Tyler and Devo in some witchcraft museum as Ralphie and GQ worried outside when the museum closed and we stayed inside.

Someday, we will post some pictures.

No Murakami sightings?

Sadly no, though he is running the marathon tomorrow, we'll be back home and won't see him.

A bit late to the Boston report party but I woke up Sunday morning with a cold. Lucky me.

I had an absolutely wonderful weekend with Not Afraid and €uroMeinke. The rain, socks, Chinese food and the world's smallest dessert on Friday. Green muffins, a long leg in my crotch, Walden Pond, whale carp/koi, dropping my trousers in a parking lot, witches, tombstones, pickled sea creatures and a happy corgi on Saturday.

I found out wonderful things about Lisa and Chris this weekend as well. Like did you know Lisa has an uncanny ability to know exactly where to go in Boston? She has a wonderful sense of direction. She knows more about the streets around here after being here for a week. I know nothing about them having been here for 8 months. And Chris has wonderful taste in pens.

I look forward to their next trip to Beantown.

I totally read this as, "And Chris has wonderful taste in penis."

Be sure to ask him about his double ding and his catchy wanghole.
