Friends Reunited

We have managed to meet up with Richard's cousins Thomas and Mary and partners and their dad Barney .We spent a great evening in an Irish pub with great company, great music and great food + a few pints of Guiness (purely medicinal)

Mary and Colm


Tom and Jen (+ Radish)


We crossed the river today and went up to Harvard.  Here is a statue of John Harvard who founded the university in 1638.



Two previous graduates are George W Bush, and President Obama.  Two famous drop outs are Matt Damon and Bill Gates. 

The students stay are in some of these Clapperboard houses





We did actually have blue sky today and the temperatures soared to 10 degrees centigrade.  The piles of snow are starting to melt but they have a way to go yet.

This is our final evening in the USA and we are flying home tomorrow. Not sure if I remember how to use a cooker and will be lost if someone doesn't put a menu in front of me and ask if I want fries or guacamole with it.  Che has offered to provide food for us but has said it will be Australian prices not American!
