NY,DC, Boston 2006

I came to Texas A & M, College Station to study construction management in the fall of 2006. I travelled a whole lot during these 18months of masters course. My first trip was to NY, DC, & Boston in the month of December 2006. We travelled the NE USA with a bunch of friends. We went to NY to experience the cold and snow. It didnt get as cold as we expected though. During that time Texas was cooler than NE.
We wanted to be present in NY for the 31st night to experience the crowds and the most famous NY ball drop at the Times Square. We spent a lot of days in NY, stayed with some old friends. Times square, NY bull, Stock exchange, Statue of liberty, Madame Tussads kept us pretty busy.
Times square is an experience of a lifetime and is a place that should be walked in the day and in the night.
We travelled to DC in the cheap Chinatown buses from Manhattan, it was amazing to see this surprisingly big Chinese setting in the heart of one of the most expensive cities.
The downtown DC has numerous museums, historical buildings and of course the White House. None of us were really impressed by the White House. Expected this powerful building to be much better. DC is a city one should experience walking as much as possible. You come across a lot of historical landmarks all along the way. I went to DC again in the month of December of 2007 with my dad. We have walked & walked & walked & walked & walked...............ppphhhh....
Towards the end of trip we went to Boston. Boston is also a pedestrian city. We went to Boston only for 2 days. The main intent of the trip was to visit Harvard and MIT. Harvard has a very nice campus, worth visiting. Clicked a lot of pictures of the CS & Artificial intelligence center designed by the famous architect Gehry.
