Museum Of Science

I can't recall the last time I visited a museum. The last one I can remember visiting was the Reina Sofia Art Museum in Madrid- which was many years ago.

A science museum is completely different. There are many hands-on experiences-- meaning you can touch things, play with things, climb on things-very kid-friendly. It brings out the kid in me! Also because there are plenty of children around "going" and "awwing"... reminding you how much wonder there truly is around science.

I went with two of the closest friends I have met while in grad school. One, from Southern California, the other from Chile-- the country. Here are some images that capture our day at the Boston Museum of Science.

Tanya and Isa building things and playing with block puzzles.

YES! These are actual butterflies in the
Butterfly Garden.

A museum trip was on my list of things to do in Boston. It was fun, educational ,and a great way to spend the day with new good friends.

Cambridge in the Winter

Winter didn't really hit Boston... At least that's what the locals keep telling me. There was one snow storm, I guess you could say and possible two or three COLD days.

Here are some of the wintery things I have experienced so far.

Ice skating rink in Harvard Yard. Free for all and $5 skate rentals.

Below are pictures of my walks to school in the mornings. The final image is of Cambridge Commons, the park I pass on my way home in the evenings.
