Waiting for the tour to begin (we had to get there early because they didn't sell advanced tickets.) Actually, the website recommends buying advanced tickets, but Brian went there while I was running the marathon and was told they don't sell them. Weird!:
In line, waiting to get on the boat:
View of the harbor from the boat:
The boat took us about 30 miles off of the shore, to a marine sanctuary. We had a great day for seeing marine wildlife. The dolphins were very playful and swam close to the boat:
The naturalist pointed out two kinds of whales. This is a humpback's tail:
I know we also saw finback whales. These next two pictures are of whales, either humpbacks or finbacks.
Inside the boat, having a snack:
Back on dry land, we wandered over to the Public Gardens and Boston Common. They are separate entities, but right next to each other.
This guy with no shirt but suspenders kept us entertained for quite some time. He was quite the dancer!
We walked to the Granary Burying Ground, which is one of Boston's oldest cemetaries. Benjamin Franklin's parents are buried here.
A man handed out folders of information at the entrance, so you could do a self-guided tour:
We took the T to Chinatown and ate at My Thai Vegan Cafe, where we had an absolutely delicious meal. Since everything was vegetarian (vegan, actually), we had so many choices!
We walked back towards our apartment, taking in the nightlife and stretching our legs.
