I Think I’ll Go To Boston

Before going back to New York City, we took a day trip to Boston just for the heck of it. I didn’t really know much about the city except for the fact that it houses some of the world’s best universities. I think it’s actually quite nice to visit a place without any expectations. I liked how I was pleasantly surprised by what greeted me in Boston. The whole place looked like an English town! It’s so charming!

Looky!  How cute is this carriage? We saw it while walking around Boston’s famous shopping area.

And like a true blogger, of course I spotted an opportunity to camwhore all dramatically.

The atmosphere around the place was so lively! I even spotted 2 street performers doing stunts in front of Quincy Market. They had quite an audience too!

Of course, since we’re already in Boston, our visit wouldn’t be complete without stopping by Harvard University.

“Enter to grow in wisdom”–I love this quote!

I immediately fell in love with Harvard’s campus. It reminded me how much I loved university life. There was actually a time in my life when I wanted to pursue my Masters degree in Harvard or Wharton. Who knows? Maybe someday I would!

Meet John Harvard. Notice the tip of his shoes? They’re already turning to gold because of all the tourists’ hands that touched them! I don’t really know why they do that. Anyone care to share why? :)

Students studying diligently.

I love Harvard’s library! Wish Ateneo’s library looked like this! It’s such an inspiring place to hit the books haha!

After going around Quincy Market and Harvard University, we decided to check out Boston’s luxury shopping district, Newsbury. We passed by Boston Common on the way. Perfect time to take outfit shots!

    Love the 3rd outfit shot with you looking away fro mthe camera.

    And Boston, from your pictures, reminds me of San Francisco. Did you also touch Harvard’s shoe? And the Harvard library kind of reminds me of the DLSU conservatory and Yuchengco hall. Sorry, the green archer in me couldn’t help it. :p But I think I can confidently say that I’d enjoy visiting Boston what with the more quiet and less busy atmosphere.

    Camille, I have something to share about the shoes of John Harvard. My professor, who is a Judge, told us that the students would normally touch the shoes of John Harvard during exams. The same as the Filipino tradition, where we touch the statutes of our saints while saying a prayer. It’s a form of good luck. My professor was even amazed that they, too, do that.

    The discoloration is due to the fact that students (and tourists) have been carrying on the tradition of rubbing John Harvard’s shoe as it is believed to bring good luck. I remember having a photo touching his left shoe! :)

    Hey Camille,
    about John Harvard’s statue: the surface is actually gold (I think, no guarantee here) but oxidising and thus turning black. The fat on people’s skins (and so also their hands) that is transferred onto the statue while rubbing keeps it from oxidising, … or something like that?
    And I believe that that’s his lucky foot (because of some sports game? I’m sorry my information is blurry like that, I’ve been there last year but I can’t quite recall the whole story) and people rub it, so his good luck rubs off on them.

    :D

    Visitors, especially students, touch John Harvard’s shoes for luck. There’s a myth that a person who gets to hold the said statue’s shoes would get accepted into Harvard; however, some says it would actually bring you bad luck.

    Hi Camille, to answer your question about why people were touching Harvard’s shoe is because there a legend where people get into this school when they do!

    i’ve never been to the east coast but my parents have and they visited Harvard while there. their tour guide said that touching John Harvard’s left shoe will make you a tad smarter and it brings good luck too :)

    You should take your masters! I would love to see you take over the corporate world and sit behind those huge desks! ;) When you were a kid, didn’t you see yourself becoming that office girl and eventually climbing up your way to top? On another note, I wonder what’s your favorite purchase from your NYC trip?
