We also spent some time in Cambridge, MA, since that’s where his mum lives, and I got to walk around the town and enjoy a lot of it, as well as sneak into the Harvard campus (which I’m kind of in love with). I refused to rub John Harvard’s toe, even for posterity, but I did take a picture.

We went walking through the woods in his backyard, and we found an old cabin of his grandpa’s that had been vandalised a few years back and then taken up by teenagers in the area and graffitied. It was pretty amazing that the support was still firm, and the surrounding area was gorgeous — ponds, two roads diverging in a yellow wood, etc.

We went up to Halibut Point, a State Park that’s an absolute treasure. I was terrified as we scaled those enormous granite boulders, constantly worried I would slip and hurt myself badly, but I managed it (with a little help form him) safely enough. We perched on the edge with a picnic of chips and dip, sweet grapes, peaches and lots of water, trying to keep our bottoms as injury-free as possible. It was a beautiful hike and a beautiful park.
