Jogging along the Charles river was not a particularly pleasant experience as I had something resembling a highway on my right hand side. Sometimes the trail would go through dense shrubbery or a secluded resting space and I couldn’t free my mind from thinking I was exposed and at risk.. never had that thought before or after.

Charles river was but a minor part of my pleasant visit to Cambridge however. The KSG, the Widener Library, the historical cemetery and the Coop bookshop were among the interesting points of my explorations there.
