Western MA Swing

 Syl and I were going to head south for Feb Break to visit some schools in NY, DC, and VA, but an unexpected winter storm caused us to switch up our plans and slide out to Western MA instead. It ended up being a very worthwhile trip. We hit Amherst, UMass, Smith, and Williams in two days, and Syl got a taste of a number of very different environments. 

One thing all the schools had in common: They were COLD!!! Below zero wind chills combined with hilltop campuses made it hard to appreciate the beauty.

We ran into our friends the Tracys (from Middlebury) at Smith. They were there touring with their daughter, Caroline. 

Syl remains the best road trip buddy out there. Bar none.
