We decided to walk to Harvard ... well that was the only way I was going to get there under my own steam. The walk along the Charles River was relaxing. I got to thinking how many of my friends' children came here to Harvard and probably took the same path. All boys I now realise, Nicky, Bede, Simeon and Josh just to mention a few!
Everything this trip seems to have a musical flavour. We came across the Hatch Memorial Shell, so I had to have a sing (much to the horror of everyone around!) Great acoustics. Hard to believe this was built in 1940's. Would have loved to hear a concert here.
Next was this amazing sculpture. Artist, Ralph Helmick created this gigantic head from 83 sheets of aluminium to commemorate Arthur Fiedler, who conducted the Boston Pops for over 50 years! The Summer concerts were so popular, they often attracted crowds of over 400,00.... Roll over Beethoven!
