After arriving late Monday evening, we checked into the Copley Plaza. The hotel was in a great area and just a few blocks from the guys meeting in the Prudential Building. Tuesday morning, I walked with them to the Prudential Building because there's an observation deck on the top floor of the building. |

Left of the hotel is Copley Square. Just above Copley Square is Trinity Church. Far background is downtown Boston. |

An optical illusion? The reflections in the John Hancock Tower is from Trinity Church (short side) and the Copley Plaza (long side). |

"...then all you have to do is take 8 to the power of 24, and..." Professors. I was standing taking a photo and as these professors approached me, I heard this part of their conversation. It was classic!! the 'then all you have to do" part. Very funny to hear on this campus.
