Wednesday 2nd Jan - Well happy new year and welcome to blog two of 2008. Hope you all had a good one. I stayed in for the first time in probably 12 or so years, but it was enjoyable all the same. As U2 say, nothing changes on New Year’s Day. Well except the date and the year, but we’ll forgive them that small error. Today I got a lift with laura to her work in Sheila’s car, whose TomTom has John Cleese’ voice - scary! - as I needed to return some thermal bottoms and an adidas (oops, it was [View Full Entry]

Ok, so you've likely seen these photos, but I felt the blog would be incomplete without them. Enjoy! [View Full Entry]

Robyn and I toured around Copley Square where there was a farmers market going on. We bought a genuine American apple pie to take to dinner tonight. Then we walked down Newbury Street and window-shopped for a while. I persuaded Robyn to go with me to see the spot where the Boston Tea Party took place. We went down to the river but had a hard time finding it. Finally, after much searching online on my phone I realized that the museum that commemorated the event had burned up and was still under construction for another year. We saw where the [View Full Entry]

So almost one year after we finished this blog, we're picking it back up again. I tried to change the name from "Lisa goes to Asia" to Lisa goes somewhere else...but I am not so sure it will work. But good news is, I am going to Asia in a few weeks anyway...so we'll keep it as is. Evan and I are moving to London on Saturday and we're planning more exciting trips...these blogs are a great way to record our travels...so I hope it stays interesting. We are moving to Sloane Square in London, just about a mile's walk to [View Full Entry]

Hi - I woke up this morning very excited - my bags are all packed, and there's not much left to attend to. Since I'm going to be exhausted when I arrive in Rome, I figure I may as well send the first leg of my trip. But since I won't be able to fill you in on the specifics of the first leg, I'll just have to make them up: Logan was a mess - one of those elder-cart drivers plowed into one of the de-icing trucks on the runway (don't ask me what it was doing there), and my [View Full Entry]

[url='/Videos/3733.html' onclick='dialog("/Videos/3733.html?popped=1","tbvideo",600,600);return false;'] Harvard Sq at night The weekend saw us moving from our hotel in Waltham to our new home in Cambridge. I think we’ve set a new record of sorts in shifting residences. Consider this - In the last 3 yrs - I’ve lived in 11 different apartments !!!! So I guess I’m a veteran now. Living in Cambridge though is entirely different from any other place. Let me backup and tell you something about the history and geography of Cambridge. Cambridge is a town adjacent to the city of Boston. The city of Boston itself is very compact( [View Full Entry]

Now I get to be H squared, I guess. I officially graduated from Harvard, after a brief scare of an "I" on my transcript which I thought meant "incomplete" but turns out to be the roman numeral one... Mom, grandma, mom's friend Sue, and "my friend Tori" came out to join in the 3-part ritual: 1) Waving inflatable globes to represent the Kennedy School spirit of making the world a better place at the all-Harvard ceremony (30,000 attendees crammed in Hahvahd Yahd since 6am). 2) Getting the diploma. We managed to figure out which paper belonged to whom despite the [View Full Entry]
