My Walk to Work

Look closely (click on the picture to enlarge it) and you'll be able to see all the people who walk down the street, heading in the same direction as I do every morning. There must be 9am classes at the nearby colleges.
Gordon Hall is the Harvard Medical School building I love so much. I guess this squirrel does, too. See him?
There are geese everywhere. Apparently, they cross roads by slowly inching into the street, giving cars enough time to react, but cleary stating their intention to cross. I see that foot paths don't require the same caution.
This is the Public Latin School. Built in 1635 (!), it was the first public school in the country. It's still open as a school.
Fires are a big deal here. Maybe because the buildings are so close together, and most are around four stories high - it's definitely high-density. So when there's a fire, everyone comes out. It's not uncommon to see hordes of fire engines on scene.
Because of so many tall apartment buildings, many of the fire engines have ladders.
Okay, my wrists are tired from so many posts in one evening. My bubble bath awaits. I hope you're all well and happy. Hugs and kisses, Genoa
