Boston, MA

Harvard, or as they call it here, Hahvahd, is the oldest college in America. Lots of important people went to college here, like presidents (John Adams, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR), authors (Henry Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson), and people who are famous for other reasons (Matt Damon...although he only lasted 2 years).



The Boston Public Library is the oldest free, public library in the country. Here I am checking out the seal.



Lots of famous patriots lived in Boston. They died there too. Here's one of them...Sam Adams. He has a beer named after him now, so he must have been very important.


This is the church were Paul Revere saw the famous lanterns that told him "the British are coming!" After that, I am told that he got on his horse and rode off into the countryside. I guess he was pretty scared.

Los Angeles, land of Pretty People

I didn't really feel at home in Los Angeles, but I did get to see the Pacific Ocean.



And a lot of palm trees.


There is a lot of traffic in L.A. They drive a lot. But they don't get to go very fast.

Minneapolis...well, some of it

I had a short trip to Minneapolis, but all I really got to see is the suburbs.

I went to Peru!!

In September, I went on my first plane trip. It took a LONG time and I didn't understand anything they were saying because it was all in Spanish.


Here I am at Machu Picchu.



I felt like such a tourist, taking pictures of everything! This one is along the Inca Trail.


The Incas built a lot of stuff out of big rocks. Here I am checking them out.


This is an area near Ollantaytambo known as the Sacred Valley. Unfortunately, I wasn't really listening to our tour guide at this point, so I'm not really sure why it's called that.


Sometimes you've just gotta phone home...but this phone was weird. No buttons!
