The first two weeks of June brought me to many places, including Boston for Margaret’s graduation, Copenhagen for a Rotary convention, and San Diego for a wedding.
Harvard commencement was much like my own graduation two years ago. It was raining lightly most of the day, making Harvard’s insistence on outdoor commencement oh-so-much fun! At least Dunster house did not cram everyone into as tight a spot as Currier did. I remember that my family could barely see; people were packed in that close. I also got a chance to sample the excellent scotch selection available at the Harvard Club. Rahul directed me to a 30 year old single-malt scotch which was super smooth going down. Yum!
Next was Copenhagen. You really have to love the feel of that city. The architecture is very modern, but somehow they missed all the concrete monstrocities of the 60s and 70s. I learned my lesson about avoiding the bicyclists the first time I was in Copenhagen, so I managed to escape any further near run-ins. I only brought my camera along for one day in whcih we toured 3 different castles on “main” island of Denmark where Copenhagen is located: Kronberg, something-berg, and something-else-berg Frederiksborg, and Fredensborg. One of these castles was located in the town of Elsinore, the setting for Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
The final stop was in La Jolla, California for Hope and Dave’s wedding. At right is a picture of my sister and her boyfriend Brandon. More pictures of all these events are available on my flickr account.
