Boston in pictures

I am now well back in norway and my phone is still dead. I did however have a really great week, learned a lot, meet a lot of fun people, got to go to lecture both at Harvard and at MiT, and even got to climb a couple of times. Here is some pictures:


This is where MiT students voted :)

Stella!

Harvard is pretty even on a rainy autum day

Mr Harvard himself!


When I was at lecture at Harvard thursday we got these for free outside the lecture....


My supervicor Christian and his old phd student Andreas from Statoil who was visiting from Huston


The coop is the bookstore of MiT and Harvard, the one at Harvard square is HUGE!!


New England coffe - Primary source of energy for MiT students :)


Joe and Ned, two british Cambrigde students doing exange at MiT took me iceskating and climbing


The Metro rock Boston climbing gym! Wish we had one like this in Trondheim! One of the people you dont really see is Halvard, a Harvard phd student and kiwi (!) and climber who went climbing with me.


They even had a climbing treadmill....


MiT is a complete mix of all kinds of styles, completly random and very relaxed. Once someone put a fire truck (full size) on the top of the dome.


And some other students hacked the light system of this building and used it to play tetris.



The Strata center MiT - some arcitect gone mad? It cool!


On Logan international airport at gate B13 there is a rocking chair!


And Sindre turned 21 today! I at those pics to while I'm at it :) Me, Matias, Gaute and Øyvind bought him new climbing shoes since he had the most trashed shoes ever! I think he was happier than he looks here :)
But Matias got the wierdes gift, since he turned 22 the day after the election I had to get him a republican party card deck with among other McCain in superhero suit... :) Amazing that it even exist!

Sigrid made him cake! And so did Matias, and also Gaute... I'm full! Sindre, Øyvind, Gaute, Hedvig, Rolf and Matias at Sigrid & co's flat Apollo 21.
