Our 4th & Last Day in Boston...
Sunday was our last day in Boston (sniff... sniff). We have had a blast, but the best was yet to come. On Sunday Mr. G picked us up and we went to Cambridge and "Magoun" Street to see THE house and his parents. It was like all Mr. G's stories came to life. Mr. and Mrs. Gibbons (Buddy & Flo) were just like I imagined. They are really special people. It was so neat to sit in their kitchen and visit. It was hard to believe that Mrs. Gibbons had "11" children. Thank you Mr. G for a wonderful visit.
When we left Magoun Street, we drove around Mr. G's neighborhood and went to Gibbons Park. It is dedicated to Mr. G's brother, John. After that we went to the train station and caught the "RED" line over to Harvard Square. It was busy even on a Sunday. Mr. G had a great idea and we decided to let some actual Harvard Students give us the tour of Harvard. It was much more fun than just walking around the campus on our own. Our tour guides were a riot and full of jokes, puns, and great commentary about Harvard and its history.
Here are "some" of the pictures we took.......
Sunday.....
Yes, there really is a Magoun Street...
This is the house that Mr. G... "and" his mother grew up in...
Mr. & Mrs. Gibbons are sooooo proud of Mr. G...
They made Mr. P and me feel right at home...
Here is Mr. G at "Gibbbons Park"...
Some pictures of Cambridge from the top of the parking garage at the train station...
Great view...
All the trees are so impressive...
Now on to Harvard...
One of our incredibly funny guides...
I guess I didn't pay attention... I'm not sure what this building is...
I know this is a chapel...
This place is actually NOT a church. Part of it is actually a dining hall for Freshman students.
Another beautiful brick building... (still wasn't listening)...
This is a library that was endowed by a mother in the name of her son (a student at Harvard) that went down with the Titanic.
More beautiful "brick" buildings... I think it is a dorm.
A typical Sunday afternoon for students... I think some are actually studying...
There are some "modern" buildings on campus...
Like this Art Museum...
Our guides telling a story at the end of our tour...
Thank you Mr. G for "ALL" you did to make our visit to Boston so much fun...
