~Visited Harvard Square and Harvard University today. Along the way I stopped at numerous historical sites dating back to the time of The 13 Colonies and the American Revolution. I must say, the Old Burying Ground was the coolest. I stood on the spot that Paul Revere turned his duties over to William Dawes. I walked through Harvard Yard, where they leave furniture all over the grass for people to sue.... and it DOES NOT GET STOLEN.......how cool is that?
~I visited the memorial erected by the city of Cambridge to honor the victims of the Great Famine in Ireland in the 1840's......
~I rode the subway....always cool to do that...and ran into a family from Jacksonville, their daughter goes to Fishweir Elementary School...they were visiting Harvard.
~I also visited the memorial to Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses Grant in Cambridge...two of the greatest Americans ever...they held the United States together..... if not for them, Florida would not be part of the US, and slavery would have gone on for many more years.......
~It was a pretty good day, and I learned a few things too..... and ran into a classmate from fifth grade on the subway!
