The Atlantic coastline of Maine, USA

The weekend before last was Veteran's weekend which is a holiday in the USA. Elvira and I took the opportunity to take an extended Sat-Mon weekend up along the Atlantic coastline of Maine. The coastline is world renowned for being loaded with picturesque lighthouses, beaches, sea cliffs and harbors and we were not disappointed!

You can see a slide show of pictures from the trip here.

Moved to Boston

Elvira and I just moved to Boston, USA where we are going to do research projects for three months at Harvard School of Public Health and Brigham & Women's Hospital, respectively.
Today the weather was fantastic and we thus walked the famous 2.5 mile Freedom Trail which took us along a series of historic monuments from the revolution against the Brits. Boston has some of the oldest buildings in the USA, which date back to the 16^th century. Not old by European standards - but certainly very interesting to see. I have made a slide show of picture from our walk, which you can see here.
