Bye bye Harvey the RV...

So we ditch our home for the last 8 weeks in the backblocks of Boston and spend an hour waiting for them to go through it and argued for compensation for our lost time at the start of the trip which we finally got after a few phone calls.....bye bye Harvey...We then loaded up a rental car and headed back into Boston city to hunt down a long lost relative. She is my second cousin and has lived in Boston for 38 years, started the trip with family on the west coast and ending it with family on the West Coast.....they live in the best spot - right in Cambridge (not the Tron....) but right in amongst Harvard and Harvard square. Did you know that Harvard has a 30 billion endowment - mate that place could run the economy! Two second walk to the square and Harvard, metro stop and pubs etc - amazing. It was great catching up with Travis...after lunch etc Travis took us through Harvard grounds as she had worked there and we caught the metro into town to check out Boston. I have been here before but Mike hadn't and he really enjoyed it. Had a beer at the Cheers bar (where they filmed that 80s TV series) and headed back to meet John and have some dinner. (Trina and Andrea if you are reading this, Travis was your mum's bridesmaid!)
We took this photo of ourselves before we dropped the RV off
