'There are only 10 types of people in this world; those who understand binary and those who don't'


(I don't know the original source, so I'll instead credit Mr Neil Lewis for that one ;))

Last Sunday, Michelle and Ronnie took me on a tour of Boston. We parked under Boston Common and embarked on a tour of the Freedom Trail (a brick line that weaves its way round all the historical places in Boston - what a fantastic idea!) led by a costumed guide. Finally, all the snippets of American history I'd been hearing slotted together. The tour only took us through a section of the Trail and I fully intend walking the rest at a later date. A Duck Tour (which takes you around the city in a vehicle that travels on both land and water) is on the cards, too.

The highlight of the day, however, was a trip to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - aka the MIT. My primary reason for wanting to see the campus was not because it's known for producing some of the greatest minds, possibly in the history of ever, or its technological prestige: I'd promised my very good friend, Tom (mykins) that I'd go there and provide a pictorial tour. The campus has some amazing architecture and interactive glass-walled buildings which could keep me occupied for hours (I'm easily pleased!). I fully intend returning to the campus to spend some time at the museum: so expect more on this place in the coming weeks.
