And I thought of this list when Ian suggested we explore the city a few Saturdays ago.
"I thought we could check out Boston College, Harvard, MIT... It'll be romantic — we can hold hands."
"You're trying to trick me into helping you research campus entryways, aren't you."
"Maybe."
Saturday morning we took the T to Boston College and assessed both entrances.
We then took the T to MIT, and had a rousing conversation on potential strategies for separating pedestrians, bikes, and vehicles.
It was a cold day, so to warm up we cut through a few buildings. And we happened upon the mood meter. It worked (not surprising — it's MIT). Weird date = happy.
We then walked from MIT across the Harvard Bridge and on to Northeastern.
