Moving day! Moving weekend, actually. We're helping Jonathan and Kassia move into their new apartment. Moving in Boston is always an adventure!

The move out of the summer sublet went well and only took a couple hours, leaving the afternoon free. We went down to MIT and Jonathan gave us a tour of campus and the Math Department. I think he had the smile in this picture the entire time. He is so clearly excited and ready to get started. I am so happy for him and proud of him.

Jonathan contemplated The Alchemist statue by Jaume Plensa a bit before we took photos in front of it. We had made the connection to Spiegel, the Plensa statue installed in front of the Toledo Museum of Art and were comparing and contrasting the two. Spiegel has two figures that are made from letters to symbolize a conversation, while The Alchemist is a solo figure made from numbers to reflect MIT's focus on STEM.

Toledo, MIT, two, one. It's a coincidence, of course, but it's tempting to assign some deeper meaning to it.

Regardless, I love both of these statues.

I caught this sweet moment of Jonathan and Renee glancing out the window onto Killian Court (the courtyard in front of the main building with the dome). The light was amazing!
