after the tour of boston which was celebrating some religious festival in the italian district, ergys took us to cambridge, the town of harvard and M.I.T. that's just how i imagined it. small streets with bars, parks and university buildings, lots of students here and there, musicians playing round every corner... also, bookstores, how without them...



the red-brick buildings of the undergraduate’s apartments, the alleys awaiting autumn, the charles river…



studying must be fashionable in and around boston. you grab a book and go to a café, you read on the staircase of the harvard library, you read on the metro… lectures haven’t started yet, but when they do i take my books and come to cambridge. to join the studying community.



although it seems too comercialized... you can buy harvard pullovers which lose their spirit because they are what tourists are looking for. on the other hand, maybe it's not about the comercial culture... it's alsways about the people. and people behave differently in this special place. they feel free to immerse themselves into academic conversations as well as play chess with some stranger... they are the community of dwellers which changes daily and at the same time remains the same through centuries. that's why harvard is famous.

Really nice website. Who erased the commericals? That must be a very shrewd guy... ;-)
