Today I do Harvard, or should I say, HaaHhhHVAAhhhd! :-D

But first a stop at Fenway:

So, how'd you guys do last season? Oh wait...

Tee hee.

Yes, I did in fact dare to wear such a hat at Fenway, but I promptly took it off before anyone saw me… I think.

Funny thing about Fenway: after spending a few days at Boston, I only noticed maybe one or two locals donning Red Sox gear. But while I was walking around the baseball stadium, EVERYONE was wearing Red Sox hats, jackets or whatnot. I’m not kidding, either. I stuck out like a sore thumb even without my Yankees hat. And as an extra bonus, I saw the official mascot for the BoSox too, Wally The Green Monster, just walking down the street like any old dude:

Only at Fenway!

One girl actually ran across the street to hug him too. I was going to ask her to hug me as well, but I hadn’t quite hidden my Yankees cap completely out of sight, so I decided not to chance it. Ah well. Even ugly mascots get all the love.

Still, a fun visit, I walked around to see if wanted to get inside the stadium, but it seemed closed to the public. Once again, that will have to wait for another day. I got back to the subway and got out near the Hynes Convention center, deciding to take a brisk walk through the city and also check out the other hotel I was considering before I came here. When I finally got to it I realized I had made the right choice in staying in the financial district. There was a bar beneath the hotel and it also seemed positively squeezed between two busy looking buildings. Good call there, Linc.

After walking all the way back to the Commons, I went under again and took the T line to Cambridge. It was time to see the breeding ground that regularly produces the most repugnant and disgusting elements of our society mankind has ever seen: Liberals! :-D

HaaahhhVAhhhdd!

To be honest, it didn’t look any different from any other university. The campus looked similar to some of the ones I’ve visited or used locally, and the students all looked the same to me.

As I walked around campus, two Chinese girls who were apparently tourists approached me and asked if they could take a picture with me, being a Harvard student.

“… suuuuuure, I’d love to take a picture!” We posed together and I gave a thumbs up sign to the camera and flashed my trademark grin. Oh what I wouldn’t have done to have my Sarah Palin button with me. :-D

I continued walking around, passing by the law school and several other buildings before finally turning back to Harvard Square, where I passed by a student holding out a Starbucks cup and begging for money to help pay his tuition. Rich beggars, gotta love ‘em.

It was getting late in the day, so I decided I had seen enough, and headed back to the North End for another taste of Italian food. This time I went for Regina’s Pizzeria, which also touts some of the best pizza in Boston.

Meh.

I think I’ve been spoiled by New York pizza. There’s just nobody out there that can do it better than us.

I took the rest of the pizza back to the hotel and realized for the rest of the evening. Tomorrow it would be time to go home, and already I was beginning to miss the city. On the upside, I believe this would only be but the first of many visits to come. :)
