Additionally, this Saturday was the US holiday, the 4th of July.  On the eve of the holiday, I went to the Boston Pops Concert 2009 of the Boston Symphony Orchestra and famous artists; among others Neil Diamond.

On the 4th of July I was lucky to see the fireworks from a roof garden of Stefano’s place; who’s also a visiting student at MIT. I took a few videos of the fireworks and Neil Diamond performing Sweet Caroline. Enjoy…

In the last couple of days I have already been busy reading lots of papers for my research and didn’t get that much time to explore Boston. Nevertheless, this gallery contains some first impressions of Boston, Cambridge, Harvard University and  the surroundings of MIT.
