Harvard



A few years back, I got to go to Boston for some work related training. I stayed in the Royal Sonesta hotel in Cambridge on the Charles river next to the yacht club. One evening, the training broke up early and we suddenly had a free night to do what ever we liked. My choices were to go into Boston and have dinner at an authentic Irish pub, or head to Harvard and see the campus and surrounding area. Obviously, I chose the latter and headed to Harvard. I've never been to Europe, but Harvard and it's surrounding area looked and felt european to me. While there, I visited the campus, the Harvard Square, and most appreciably, Harvard Book Store. At the bookstore, I purchased some tee-shirts, magnets, and a signed hardback first edition of Harold Bloom's 'Hamlet Poem Unlimited'. I still proudly carry my Harvard Book Store keychain discount card! Everytime I see the thing, it takes me back to that time in Boston/Cambridge.
