Rose and I have been going out on adventures. I decided to walk from
Park Street to the
Aquarium because from Park, one has to transfer twice to only go two stations. The time waiting for trains and spent locating and riding unpleasant smelling elevators is not worth it, especially when there are exciting fountains to be found on the way.
At the aquarium, Rose was fascinated by the turtle rescue tank. The turtle in this tank was recovering from cold shock. I think all of Boston is still recovering from cold shock, and lazing around in a tanks would probably help me, though I wouldn't want thousands of folks walking by and peering at me.
Penguins were a favorite. We returned to these Plexiglas portals regularly to see and listen to the swimming birds. Rose loved following their trails of bubbles in the water.
At the top of the massive central column of water about which a walkway spirals, there is a surface reef ecosystem. Rose was fascinated by the huge turtle, the rays, and the divers who submerged to feed the large fish and sharks below.
Outside, the sea lions were swimming and one was scratching itself. Rose was transfixed.
But of course, it is the boats that are the real attraction. Even while inside (except for penguin watching) Rose would repeat, "Boat?" So we went outside and walked the waterfront to look at all the boats. The sun shade is off only for the sake of the photos.
This stroller is one of the only ones we found with a real sun shade that actually shades most of her body. Other strollers had these miniature afterthoughts that required ill-fitting third-party accessories. The one shown in the link is a newer model that has solid tires. We like the soft ride of the air filled ones.
On another day, we stopped by
Raymond Park
A happy light near our house.
I've seen this being pedaled around before. Frankenshoppingcycle.
Rose and I went to
Chinatown. It is amazing how it is another piece of the jigsaw puzzle that is Boston, and it now clicked into place.
