Walking in Fogg
3/25/2003

Ryan Flynn and I are spending five days in the lives of eleven juniors and seniors. We live in a restored farmhouse on a south-facing hill in southwestern New Hampshire. Here we cook and eat well, and set off on visits to some of New England's best musea. On Monday we took charge of Cambridge, Massachusetts with guidance from a couple of Ryan's Harvard buddies. Our initial mission involved food, so we completely commandeered a Lebanese hole-in-the-wall called Sabra which offers the best chicken schawarma this side of Beirut.

Stuffed like grape leaves, we joined a tour of the Busch-Reisinger Museum at Harvard's Fogg Museum.

Inspired by works deemed decadent by the Fuhrer, our young scholars had to create! Their medium of choice: Reese's Peanut Butter Cup wrappers. This work, entitled "King and Queen" was best displayed on the dashboard:

Young scholars ready for action.
We strode through Cambridge with confidence in the footsteps of sometime football coach Toby Latiolis.
The schawarma meister.
Decadence: Marcel Breuer's famous chair.
This docent had never heard of schawarma.
But this one knew all about them.
