we had some clam chowder.... mmmmm
and so we spent some time trying to decide what to do...
We went to a lovely pub called "republic" for a drink.
Apparently the place is usually very busy... but due to it being unusually cold, it was... not very busy.
It was so cold in fact... that steam coming out from the grates immediately turned to frost... crickey!
Nick's apartment's common area... now home to three Australian refugees
the next day wasn't nearly as cold, it was only -6, so we had a walk around Harvard
...meh... library's kinda nice.
...but ice skating on the "Frog Pond" seemed far more appealing.
This was actually an attempt by Caitlin to get a photo of me, but I was just too fast and you can't even see the blur.
That night, we dined at a Tibetan restaurant and we were having such a good time, that I slipped on a prawn-tail and... it flew into the air and... into Nick's water. The laughter which resulted from this probably nearly got us kicked out of the restaurant...
The mighty Charles river... qute a serious body of water... is frozen.
So we threw some rocks out onto it.
did I mention that it was very windy?
...and that we were very hungry?
so we walked through MIT and then took the train to the bus stop and went back from Beantown to the Big Apple.
....aaahhh... home again, home again.
...back to morning strolls through central park
We thought we'd do a tour of the UN... even though I've already been on a tour of the UN... and have even been inside for the odd conference...
Oh well... it was fun... I knew all the answers to the questions that our guide asked.
The Security Council...
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
A gun, converted into a guitar...
The General Assembly
...and, of course, the gift shop
I felt that this rather random piece of... thing... should have been a bit more prominent, rather than being hidden in a corner near the gift shop.
...ahh, all the lovely art that surrounds the UN
We came out in time to see all the flags coming down.
walked about a bit... took some photos...
