Day 1 in Boston

Well, I arrived in Boston at 1am Thursday; checked into the hotel; slept for a few hours then headed out to walk the Freedom Trail with three of the other Fulbright-Hays participants. Bunker Hill was at the end of the trail and we climbed the steps to the top and took this picture of Boston. We then rushed to the Center for African Studies at Boston University for our first day of orientation which included a Balafon performance by Balla Kouyate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTXSFYTf0ks
