Up and away in my beautiful balloon

today tony and i went to the Boston commons. right before going in though, we stopped at granary cemetery where Paul revere, john Hancock, and Mary ( mother) goose are burred...there is so much history here! i love it!
at the commons though, i was deceived by the "frog pond" i thought the name explained it, but it is a wading pool. nuts...cute though but no frogs...there is a hot air balloon in the park that you can ride but the line was crazy long and i had to go to the bathroom so we took photos instead...it really isn't a "hot air" balloon though, there was a generator making the hot air and not a fire...and it was attached to a cable so you go up, see the city and come down again. looked fun nevertheless..
then we meandered into the public gardens. they have paddle boats there that someone else paddles for you. the person that paddles the boat sits in a giant swan. there are plenty of photos on the kodak gallery (i'll email that to all of you). we stumbled upon a couple that just got married getting pictures taken there, so i took some pictures of them too :) they were cute...
after the mosquitos started to take over we walked to a bar called "the pour house." very nice atmosphere with music from the early 90's and late 80's...nice...had some beers and "burgers" tony had a real burger called the texas...three 1/4lb patties, bacon and cheese...we'll be taking him for an artery flush tomorrow...we had to walk off the fries and beers so we walked to fenway park. there was not game going on but we saw equipment that belonged to the rolling stones!!! they are playing there tomorrow...we couldn't figure out why there were all sorts of people around and no game ( other than the folks at the bars around there) then we saw all sorts of stuff with "rolling stones" on it! how cool is that!!!
that was it for today! tomorrow we are going to try to hang in Cambridge ( go to hahvahd and f' up some smaht kids) like in good will hunting! we plan on hangin by the Charles river, maybe canoe if it's nice out.we'll see....more to come soon!
