August 15, 2010


This was the last day of a nice vacation. We kayaked on the Charles River. Kenny was nervous at first but the water was warm. After that we rented bikes and biked from Cambridge to Harvard, then across the bridge into Boston. There is a great bike path all along the river. This is where we came across the news crews outside the jail where the Craigslist killer had killed himself that morning. Always excitment in a big city. I can't wait to go back. We really feel like we saw it all and understand the city and it's people better. Now home to Tucson.

We made it to the top of the Prudential Center for a drink. 52 floors high. From there we were able to see the Areosmith Concert going on at Fenway Park.

Trying to get creative on the USS Constitution. We walked the entire Freedom Trail today starting at the beginning in the Boston Common. It's only 3 miles but seems like so much more. We were bummed out because some of the sights along the way charge to get in. We passed on those and opted for a stop in pubs along the way for a cold beer. It's the adult version of the Freedom Trail.

Kellie is heading to the airport to go home. We had a great time. This is the view out of our hotel window. Just to the right is the water. It was a great place to stay for 5 nights. Tomorrow Kenny and I transfer to a hotel downtown. She motto was "I came a Armenian and left an Irish".
She even has the shirt to prove it. After all her name sure sounds a bit Irish!

Two pics for today. I took so many. Fishbowl on the warf. Great weather for sitting outside. The other is a water fountain near Harvard. Kellie and I found a couple of good places to rest on our day of touring.

I am psyched...while waiting for a tour of Fenway Park I figured out how to take monochrome pictures with my camera. I am going to fool around with it some. I like the mood it creates. Here you see Kenny and Kellie in Boston's North End outside Mike's Bakery. Everyone was walking around with a pastry box from Mike's. Very, very good.

It was so fun to see a fire station dog. He didn't have spots but he was having a good time. The female fire fighter did not want her pic taken. I love the happenings in a city. Kenny thinks I'm more of a city girl but I don't know. I would love to spend half the time in a city and half in the mountains. If only........
