Today we took a walk with some of the people we've met at the hostel across the bridge over to Cambridge. We were going there to look around Harvard. We got to MIT first which is Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the campus is massive! It took ages before we actually reached Harvard. I think it was around an hour's walk! Fairly quiet walking through Cambridge as most of the students have gone home for Christmas. I thought Harvard was big in terms of the...

We had a lie in this morning and had a really good night's sleep which was surprising considering the beds are pretty uncomfortable- you can feel all the springs in the mattress and the room was absolutely freezing this morning!! Got up and had the worst shower. After a late breakfast we signed up at the front desk to go on the tour around Fenway Park- home of the Boston Red Sox baseball team.

Today we headed to the Observatoire de la Capitale for some nice views over Quebec City. Just before getting there we stopped off to have a look at the Quebec National Assembly which is just infront of the observatory. It was designed by Eugene-Etienne Tache and is one of the world`s oldest parliamentary institutions. It is a much prettier building than the observatory which just looks like your bog standard dull office block. It was only 5 dollars to go up to th...
