Cambridge, MA - 22 September

Good news!  I managed to get from Peckham to Cambridge, MA all by myself.  I am currently in the house of my friends Chris Howard and Jenny Brooks who are very kindly and very expertly hosting me.  Thanks Chris and Jenny!  Apart from the great company I am being very well looked after: food, booze, a bed, a shower.  It's not a lifestyle I should get used to...
