Princeton, USA - 8th August 2011
By: smaug
Hi Mum,
Guess what? I’m back in the States! After a few days resting at home, today we were allowed to explore a bit around . First we checked that the weather was good, and off we went.
Our first stop was at the Graduate College.
Later we passed by the Princeton Theological Seminary.
Walking on we reached the main University Campus...
...where Krystal and Sigfrido said they wanted to introduce us to a friend of theirs, a tiger ! Well, the tiger didn't seem to be very interested by our visit.
Once we reached downtown we found this thing celebrating 250 years of the University.
Then we passed by Nassau Hall, the main University building, that was also, for a short time, seat of the Congress .
We noticed that two tigers were guarding the door (it seems that there’s more tigers here than in the Bengali jungle ) and again Krystal and Sigfrido said that one of them was very friendly. And she was indeed: not only she allowed us to take a photo with her, but she wanted to hear our travelling stories .
On the way back we stopped by some more buildings in the campus.
Until eventually we reached home, sorted out our shopping...
...and enjoyed our well deserved takeaway lunch .

Hi Mum,
Today Sigfrido invited us to join him at work . On the way we met this friendly deer .
As we approached the institute Sigfrido said that it is a very important research center, so we should behave ourselves ...I wonder why would he make such a remark .
Once inside he showed us his work...
...and we decided to help.
Apparently our help wasn’t very welcome , as he said that before allowing us to make any more of a mess he wanted to check our mathematics knowledge. Of course, 3 well travelled TVs fear no test , but we were not really ready for such challenging questions .
Luckily, we were saved by the bell that called us to the coffee room. First we checked the view from the terrace...
Then we explored the room: apparently it was reserved for discussions...just perfect for us .
There was a funny clock...
...and we met some famous scientist .
Later, instead of going back to work and embarrass ourselves any further with Sigfrido's questions , we decided to play a chess tournament, a real battle of minds....and, of course, I was the best . It goes without saying that my favourite pieces were the horses .
