Wednesday Walk: Harvard University
While in Boston, Whitley and I went to Harvard University. It is the oldest university (1636) in the United States and is super prestigious.

|---|---|---|---|
| Memorial Hall | Entrance | Widner Library | The John Harvard Statue |
There was a long line of people waiting in line to touch the John Harvard statue's foot. Really? Even after Covid, people want to wait in line to touch something that hundreds of other people touched? To each their own.
As we passed the statue I overhear a father talking to his child saying, "This is where you will come some day." There seemed to be a lot of families there, maybe inspiring their children to get a great education.
I was really sad that both Memorial Hall and the Widner Library required Harvard IDs. I wanted to see the John Singer Sargent murals in the library and the stained glass in Memorial Hall. Maybe someday? Anyone on Hive in Boston and have a Harvard ID?
So we wandered around the courtyard for a little bit, then went to the Art Museum.

After the Harvard Art Museum (REALLY GREAT) we went to the graduated education part of the university. I really liked it there, much quieter and some pretty great buildings too.
It was fun to visit this historic and famous university!

Hello dear friend @sjarvie5 good morning
I have read that this university is the dream of many parents for their children, as you say, it is very prestigious.
In this Corrientes-Argentina area there has been a resurgence of Covid, it would never occur to me to go after something that everyone has touched massively
Beautiful place for a Wednesday walk, you have taken beautiful shots
I take this opportunity to wish you a great day.

Oh hey Sarah,  Harvard university used to be the dream of young generations in Vietnam.  I saw it a lot in movies, and today you took me a walk around it. Thanks a lot.
Hi Do Do So glad you enjoyed the walk!
So this is how Harvard University looks like.
Harvard is a dream of all. Even in our poor countryside which is very far away from the United States, when we were young we were told about how prestigious Harvard is and how excellent the students there!
Thanks for showing us to this walk Maam.!😍
Hi @callmesmile so glad I could show you a little bit of the Harvard campus. :)
This was an interesting walk, I enjoyed the virtual walk my friend ☺️ but it's so sad you didn't get an ID to go to the Widner Library, I would really had love to see the stained glass too.
So glad you understood the pain of not being able to see the library or the stained glass. Hopefully someday. :)
thats on my list of places to visit and check out, from before I even made it to the states, that and Yale which I did check out
One day I will get there but till then I had this lovely tour from you today
Thanks for joining the Wednesday walk :)
Hi Jay, thanks, so glad you enjoyed the walk. I want to see Yale too. I am a big Gilmore Girls fan and Rory goes to Yale.
👍🙂👍
Yale is for sure worth a visit ;) even if I have no idea about Rory or Gilmoure girls LOL
Sad since you didn't let us see the indoors, or maybe that's the limit. I think I would not fit there, to be honest lol. Not smart enough.
No one arranges their pictures like you on this blockchain my dear friend as you never seem to amaze us with your style.
Sorry you couldn't get into the Widner Library with out the card, maybe you just might find someone with Harvard ID pretty soon.
Thanks that is very nice of you to compliment my picture organization. I find it a very creative outlet!
This is a place where it is a dream of every Pakistani to go to study and few people can go here who are the richest people of Pakistan, their children study here and then return to Pakistan after studying. This place is very beautiful and the map is also very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice pictures, I love how all the structures follow the same pattern and order of architecture, it has a great aesthetic and what a university so important worldwide!
Hi Sarah! I found you on YouTube, new subscriber here 😉
Wow that is very cool that you were on Youtube and found Hive. Welcome!
I absolutely LOVE the architecture of the Memorial Hall! I wish we did more of that kind of thing today.
Me too. I REALLY wanted to go in. Hopefully someday. The outside is stunning and I am sure the inside is just as great.
