Observation #9 Birds have no personal boundary issues. There are pigeons everywhere There are little tweety birds too, that are really used to the people and tend to get really close hoping for crumbs. We taught Bonnie the sign for bird and she started doing it really quickly. Soon however every kind of animal was a "bird", including all the dogs, which are plentiful also and squirrels, then we saw ducks and seagulls. She wanted them all! This little grassy area with the pigeons cracked me up. This was the only patch of grass in the whole park and they had it fenced all around and wouldn't let anyone on it.
Observation #10 I love the smell of the ocean, I really do! We were able to visit Boston Harbor today. It really isn't very deep at all, I suppose it might just have been low tide. I found that it has a very soothing effect on me. I loved being there. There was also an IMAX theater next to the Aquarium so we saw the Under the Sea 3-D show.
Observation #11 Boston Public Gardens must be gorgeous in the summer! There was a picture hanging in our hotel room that showed these darling swan boats on a pond. It was my goal while we were there to find those boats. They are actually housed at the Public Gardens but we missed the opening day for the swan boats by 1 day - can you believe it! I loved that picture and wanted to get one for myself, but it looks like I'll have to wait on that. It is a very formal garden with beautiful old trees and ponds with lots of water features, statues and paths.
Observation #12 The popular childrens book "Make Way for Ducklings" is set in Boston! We have that book and it's really very cute and we saw it everywhere, but didn't put it together until we were at the Gardens. They had little statues there of the mama duck and her 8 ducklings. Very cute! I even found a Google Earth map of their path on You*Tube, I think it was.
