Boston Highlights

We took a short break and went to Boston.

The JFK museum had a spectacular display devoted to the Cuban missile crisis. The grounds were beautiful.

The public library

This statue of Washington is in the Boston commons.

The museum of fine arts

I walked through Paul Revere park after running an errand to the Museum of Science one morning.

The Prudential center skybridge is a great place to snap pics. Bring your polarizer … This is overlooking the Harvard/MIT area.

Below is the Christian Science complex.

This overlooks the Boston commons (the park on the left).

In the distance, you can see the baseball park.

Restaurants and a contemporary art museum are in this area.

The Freedom Trail is made up of bricks and painted on some of the streets. You can follow it and discover various historic landmarks. Guided tours follow the trail. Some in period garb, other groups take running tours.

With a steady hand, and an iphone, you can capture interesting photos of large pieces of art. I, have an iphone.

The aquarium is a pretty popular destination. It was packed. We got there at opening. The building was pretty much full by 11am. It is well maintained, has lots of diverse exhibits and well, i’m a sucker for penguins.

One large aquarium is the centerpiece. It is a cylindrical tank in the middle of the building and is about 3 stories tall.

You can kinda see the sea turtles getting fed here:

Stingray feeding is a better vid:

This jellyfish video turned out ok:

Here is a pic of the top of the tank.

Most of the penguins were paired up when this shot was taken.
