Woke up late today after another sound night’s sleep. Showered, dressed and made it to the hotel dining room just before breakfast ended.

Walked across Cambridge’s Main Street to the MIT Coop and browsed for a while, then jumped on the T outbound to Harvard Square where we caught the number 71 bus to Mt. Auburn Cemetery, the first landscaped or "garden" cemetery in the US. Stopped and paid homage to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Buckminster Fuller and many more.

At Stony Brook, we walked a few blocks to the Sam Adams Brewery. For the next two hours, our guide Brian educated us about the beer-making process as well as the history of the Samuel Adams Brewery, and he entertained us as well. At the end of the tour he escorted us to the tasting room where we sampled the Boston Lager, Octoberfest and Cream Stout. All were superb, and the tour was free!

We walked out of the brewery into a downpour, so we high-tailed it three blocks to the T and rode to Copley Plaza, jumped off and window-shopped at the nice dry indoor mall.

After dinner we walked back across the street to the Kendall Hotel. The evening is gray, rainy and windy, so, exhausted, we called it a day. Carol soaked in the tub while I caught upon email. From our fourth-floor window I can see MIT students in the labs next door working into the evening.

Next Day
