Here's Part II in my "catch-up" series of blog posts.
Aaron and I have been determined to get a whole lot more sight-seeing done in Boston than we ever did in California. Since we didn't really do any touristy things in San Francisco (mostly because Aaron worked almost every weekend while we were there), our odds of success are pretty high.
We recently* went to Walden Pond, and it was not at all what we expected. The "pond" is huge and has a pretty nice beach, which was packed with swimmers when we went. We wanted to find Thoreau's cabin, so we went on quite the trek with our non-trekking stroller to find it. We soon discovered why everyone else was at the beach.
This rock was all that was left. As I'll later learn during our trip to Plymouth, disappointing rocks seems to be a trend among Massachusetts' historical sights.

The pictures aren't coming through for me. Is it just me? I tried it in a couple different browsers.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the pictures aren't showing up. :(
ReplyDeleteCurses! Hopefully the pictures show up now.
ReplyDeleteI love Walden Pond! It is one of my favorite swimmy spots. Also, Plimouth Plantation is totally amazing and worth the trip (get a discount admission pass from your public library) and the rock is indeed, small and disappointing. I'm sure it was much bigger and more significant back in that day...
ReplyDeleteWe'll definitely have to check out Plimouth Plantation! Too bad we moved here after you guys left!
