Boston

Here are some pictures and a quick update from my now not-so-recent trip to Boston in October. I was staying in Cambridge for a week working with a collaborator at Harvard. While the week itself was mostly work and no real sightseeing, it was an amazing time because I really got to enjoy Cambridge, with all the little eateries, see some other parts of Boston and experience the T (Boston metro), and enjoy the beautiful foliage sights and fall in New England. The conclusion: Im in love with the area now. Besides, I also got to hang out with my Connecticut family, who threw a lovely surprise late B-day party for me, experience the Boston pumpkin festival, and visit the famous Salem, Massachussets (which in our joint opinion turned out to be a bit of a disappointment). Here are some pictures to recap the touristy things.
