Hi everyone! In between the snowstorms, I took a quick trip to Boston to see Harvard University.

Flying over Boston

Boston’s Logan Airport is on a piece of land that juts out into the ocean. I had a great view of the city and the ocean when we were getting ready to land.

Here’s a view of one of the busy intersections in Harvard Square:

Harvard University is in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA. Much of the university is within a fenced-in area known as Harvard Yard. First-year undergrad students live in Harvard Yard, and many of the classrooms and other famous buildings are within the Yard.

There is a big statue of John Harvard, the man whom the university is named after, in Harvard Yard. Here’s a photo of me with John Harvard.

Widener Library is one of the largest libraries in the country. It’s kind of like a museum for books! The lower levels are filled with dusty books that researchers travel from all over the world in order to read. There are lots of books that are one-of-a-kind that are here.

Another fun thing in Harvard Yard is a very old replica of a water pump.

No trip to Boston would be complete without a big bowl of New England clam chowder! Yum.

From Kirby:

We left Seoul, South Korea and made a short stop in Subic Bay in the Philippines. It is 1,466 miles from Seoul to Subic Bay. I am flying with a FedEx pilot, Mr. Vanterpool, and the company has a cargo facility in Subic Bay.

That same night, we flew to Bangkok, Thailand which was another 1,146 miles of flying.

Question: How many total miles did we fly that night?

Bangkok is the capital of Thailand. It is called Krung Thep Maha Nakhon in the Thai language. They call it Krung Thep for short. Bangkok beacme the capital in 1768 and is the world’s 22nd largest city by population with 15 million people.
