August 2015. We arrived in Boston on a sunny afternoon with the City rising from a Harbor active with private boating activity. We ended our Maine trip with Joey, Jimmy, and Kathryn at the Boston Airport, and one day later we picked Morgan up. Morgan, as a senior in high school this year, is looking toward college and we wanted him see MIT and Harvard first hand. It was also an opportunity for me to revisit MIT which I and not seen since I graduated in 1976.
The following day, with Morgan, we went through the locks that separate Boston Harbor from the Charles River. We rode up the River to see both Harvard and MIT. That night we had dinner at the Barking Crab, on Boston's waterfront.
The following day we joined prospective student tours of both Campuses. MIT remains very much as I remember it nearly 40 years ago.
On our last day we drove north to Marblehead, a harbor so filled with moored boats that there is no place to anchor. I remembered sail boat racing out a less crowded Marblehead while at MIT.
We left early the following morning with the tops of the downtown buildings covered in fog.
