Boston Common
My adventures in Boston started out here in the Boston Common. I was very surprised to learn that there was actually a place called the Boston Common- it is more than just a TV show (and, as I recall, a bad TV show at that). I discovered that it is actually a beautiful park- the oldest common grazing place in America, home to little league games, picnicers, swanboats and scenes from Goodwill Hunting. Apparently, american football was first played in America here- although I may be wrong about that as I wasn't always paying the best attention to the tour guide.
Alexis and I in the public garden.
Alexis is shocked to see the bench from Goodwill Hunting. Actually, I was more shocked, as I think I actually screamed. But, she volunteered to pose anyway. I don't even like the movie so much.
Me on a different bench.
The shortest suspension bridge in the world. Unless this is not a suspension bridge. Then this is the shortest-whatever-kind-of-bridge-this-is-in-the-world bridge. It is pretty though!
