IEM a new kind of adventure

This is certainly not my typical adventure. More inclined to be sweating on a bike or trail or diving with the sharks.... an adventure just the same.

Left CLT for BOS on Friday. after a nearly 3 hour delay. Who knew that coming to Cambridge would land me in heat and humidity at higher levels than what we had Charlotte.

Without delay, I launched in my walk thru the narrow city streets that reminded me of Chicago's northside and Wrigleyville.

I walked thru Central Square and then down the long busy Mass Ave to Harvard Square. A bustling busy intersection of streets and people and vendors and the super-rich and super-poor on the edge of the campus. Walked thru the yard and captured a pic of John Harvard's statue.

Saturday brought some visitors. My sister Cathi and husband Dave came to visit me in Cambridge. We had a nice long chat over some oriental food.

Late afternoon I met my old friend Glenn at Fenway Park. We got lost among the fervent fans of the Red Sox. He was shooting the game for the Journal. We took time out to visit a bike shop where I test drove a folding bike.

Managed to get in some running along with a long walk yesterday. So far about 20 miles, 8 running 12 walking. Still trying to finish the reading which does not look likely at this point but I still have few hours before the fun begins.
