Summer was upon us. Sarah had arranged an internship in Boston and
found a place to stay in Cambridge, so we were slated to spend a
weekend driving there and getting her settled. Before I could go, I had
to meet with Yacine Ait-Sahalia
IMG_0178
from the Economics department on June 2.
On June 4, we drove to Cambridge. Out hotel was in Kendall Square so
we had a chance to see the Stata Center
IMG_0179
IMG_0180
IMG_0181
IMG_0182
IMG_0183
in our neighborhood. This bodes well for the Lewis Library. We also recorded
the outside
IMG_0184
IMG_0185
and inside
IMG_0186
of Kresge in case anyone ever did a project for their structures
class about the construction. On our walk to Harvard Square for dinner,
we took a few pictures
IMG_0187
IMG_0188
of 881 Mass Ave.
Morning of Saturday, June 5 we went to Sarah's apartment where her room
had a nice welcome
IMG_0189
and even with her stuff in disarray
IMG_0190
and the bed unmade
IMG_0191
the light was good
IMG_0192
so that we could go off and explore and look for Sarah's place of
work
IMG_0193
which came through better here
IMG_0194
and then we recorded the front door
IMG_0195
before heading to the nearby Boston Commons
IMG_0196
where something was happening at the church
IMG_0197
involving the man with the funny hat
IMG_0198
who is barely visible even as Sarah
IMG_0199
and the man with the pushcart
IMG_0200
watched. On the walk back, we crossed the Harvard Bridge and recorded
50
IMG_0201
then 100
IMG_0202
smoots before taking panoramas of the Cambridge side
IMG_0203
IMG_0204
and returning to 150 smoots
IMG_0205
the halfway mark,
IMG_0206
200
IMG_0207
and then 250
IMG_0208
smoots before capturing Baker House
IMG_0209
and the Charles
IMG_0210
and getting back to 300
IMG_0211
then 350
IMG_0212
and finally 364.4 smoots
IMG_0213
and 1 ear. We recorded the infinite corridor
IMG_0214
and then made our way to Sarah's apartment
IMG_0215
with its front door
IMG_0216
as her stuff
IMG_0217
made its way into the closet
IMG_0218
and her bed
IMG_0219
made as the suitcase
IMG_0220
was ready to be pushed under her bed for the summer. To celebrate, we went
to the Mexican restaurant for dinner where I had this margarita
IMG_0221
and we had enchiladas
IMG_0222
IMG_0223
of varying sorts.
On Sunday morning, June 6, I packed my bag
IMG_0224
as Sarah put on her shoes
IMG_0225
and the water
IMG_0226
stood guard as
we recorded her clock
IMG_0227
and fan
IMG_0228
and the frisbee
IMG_0229
that showed this was home before heading off to a large breakfast
IMG_0230
IMG_0231
at which the people next to us ducked
IMG_0232
so we took this gratuitous pictures of unknown people.
On Monday, June 7, back at work, I met with Sal Torquato
IMG_0233
from the Chemistry department.
