Last Day!

We got to see Harvard today too, the picture with everybody touching the statue is because if you touch his left shoe you’re supposed to have good luck on exams. Why not, couldn’t hurt. We also got to shop in the book store. Had lunch in that area and also had about three hours to shop wherever. We could take the subway back to Quincy Market or go back to the hotel, as long as we were in groups. We’ve become experts at riding the subway though. It’s actually pretty fun.

Then we were getting ready for dinner. I know it seems like not a lot happened but that tour went from 9 until about 1 so we were listening to Richard talk all morning. Dinner was fancy tonight but I heard a lot of complaints about the food. Somebody’s burger looked raw, the food in general wasn’t very good, etc. Just from certain people though. Now the boys are a whole different story. They went ALL OUT. Five guys. Almost 300 dollars between them! Taylor ate a whole lobster, a steak, parts of other dishes the girls were done with (all the guys did that though) and had a brownie sundae on top. WHERE DID IT ALL GO?? They all were like a pack of rabid wild hyenas! Once a girl was finished with what she was eating they’d put it in front of the guys, BAM gone in a few seconds. Not joking.

We were going to do Karaoke tonight but our hotel charges ten bucks a head just to be in there. Lame. But we did sign each others posters and we had to say one nice thing about each other from the trip. It was a good way to end the day. Along with ice cream and cookies.

Well tonight’s the last night. We’re all hoping and praying we don’t get any delays tomorrow, a lot of us are ready for home. To all the faithfuls who kept up with this blog all the way through, awesome job! Things I could have done better and anymore comments are appreciated especially when I come back to write my essay for the project. This trip has been amazing all around, everyone had their favorite parts and favorite cities and I know you guys will love hearing all about them when they get home. After we get out of our coma of course. Saturday is coma day for everybody to catch up on the Z’s. Please do not disturb. Good night for one last time from Boston, and last time on the ECT. See you all tomorrow!

Our rooms got all turned topsy turvey today for our last night. Our reservations got screwed up so we all got split into different rooms. One room has about 12 girls (they volunteered don’t worry) and they’re having a sleepover. They’ll be peaches on the plane since they plan on not sleeping. Lauren, Juli and Hannah moved into our room and everyone else was split up in other rooms. Definitely cray cray.

We had Richard again today for our tour to Lexington and Concord, the places important in the Revolutionary war. I’ll say this, it was interesting but I’ve heard from at least a few kids that he talks a lot. We ARE teenagers so he probably should have cut some things a little shorter for our attention spans. I took more random pictures of us listening to him again today.
