Boston!
Today we woke to another cold, but very sunny day. Still a
little unsure of whom each other was, we boarded a bus to Cambridge to
explore the campus of Harvard and the surrounding town. We all agreed
that Harvard is definitely prettier than Alma—and the fact that their
dining hall is nothing like SAGA, but it’s more Harry Potter style!
After Cambridge and Harvard, we tested out Boston’s T. After purchasing
tokens we were well on our way to boarding the green line downtown to
visit the aquarium and some historical sites located nearby. We spent
the rest of the day looking at Fanueil Hall, and the North, South and
Quincy Markets.
After our second long and cold day during this trip we departed
for the Overlook Farm, in Rutland, Massachusetts. The 270 acre Overlook
Farm is located approximately 60 miles west of Boston and on the top of
a hill. We arrived around 9:30pm and settled into our bunks and got
prepared for our first full day of work on the farm. Not quite sure
what to expect, we went to sleep excited and a little unsure about the
next week.
