\"My<\/a>

My breakfast spot<\/p><\/div>\n

If you are familiar with the Boston area, you know that Boston and Cambridge, though physically adjacent (separated only by the Charles River), are miles apart in atmosphere and attitude. Often called the “People’s Republic”, Cambridge is a left-wing paradise while Boston is more blue-collar. Hence I will bid a separate farewell to each.<\/p>\n

Though I spent very little time in Harvard Square as a student, I thoroughly enjoy the place now. After dropping Jett off at Mt Auburn Hospital for a minor medical procedure, I walked the mile to Harvard Square to have breakfast and enjoy yet another beautiful September day. I got a coffee and a chocolate croissant at the Au Bon Pain<\/em> at the Holyoke Center, just across Massachusetts Avenue from the main entrance to Harvard Yard, and spent a very pleasant hour reading, accompanied by a very friendly sparrow.<\/p>\n

After breakfast I took a stroll through Harvard Yard, then through the Divinity School area and Lesley College before heading back to Mt Auburn Hospital by way of Mt Auburn Street. I snapped some shots of the striking buildings and bucolic parks in the area.<\/p>\n

A perfect day. A very nice stroll through the People’s Republic.<\/p>\n
