It has been lovely and sunny all day but the breeze is very nippy in the shade and I’ve had a quiet kickback day for my birthday, explored a little bit of the city for the second time, the first being in 1998, then got my hair done and now chilling a bit before we head for dinner with Sharen and Ken but here is some of what we saw today.



In the Botanic Gardens this is a cute sculpture immortalising a children’s story written about the ducks and gardens



A view in the Botanic gardens across a pond and bridge towards the ‘new’ Boston



A quirky carousel on the Boston Common, a public space beside the Botanic Gardens



The State Legislature Buildings



A residential street view one street behind hotels and offices



Kings Chapel



A sculpture tribute to the Irish Immigrants who have enriched the Boston Community



A quirky dog house at the dock

I like Boston it is a thriving city and yet there is an eclectic mix of commerce, space and city living all in close proximity and easily reached.

The bikes are finished ready to be collected in the morning then we all head for Sandwich for a couple of nights. The GPS is loaded with maps so we will see how it performs on the trip.

Bits and Bobs:



Loved the fire hydrant with what looks like a firemen’s helmet on the top



When a ‘No Trespassing’ sign isn’t clear enough try this one we found on the side of an apartment building
