Boo! Halloween at Beacon Hill ...

One particular house on Beacon Hill had really gone all out to decorate their house for Halloween. Look at the "cobwebs" and "spider" as well as the "mummy" at the porch ... spooky fun! Definitely not for one with arachnophobia!

Then check out the collection of carved pumpkins at another house ... spooky cute!

Beacon Hill

Beacon Hill Apartments ...

one of the most expensive areas to live in Boston. I loved walking around this neighbourhood, just off Boston Common. The apartments looked so quaint with some roads still paved in cobblestone. Gorgeous! Wish I could live here!

Mother Goose

Anyone knows the Mother Goose nursery rhyme?

It's the .... Moon!!!!

Look! It's the Moon! In Broad Daylight!!!!

I thought the moon only comes out at night? Hmmm ... some googling needs to be done about this ...

The "Big Dig"

A bridge that's part of the "Big Dig".

Little did we know that we'd be driving on this very bridge a week later!

I nearly freaked out thinking I was driving into Boston city (which isn't known for easy driving)!

Scenes on the Duck Tours

Clear Blue Skies!

Sailing on Charles River,

Rainbow Duck!

Trinity Church &

Boiling Kettle at Starbucks!

(There was actual "steam" coming out fm the spout)

Duck Tours

DUCK TOURS

Our first time on the Duck Tours in Boston where it all originated. These amphibious vehicles are modelled upon those created in World War II. Some of the original "Ducks" are still being used in the tours, but ours wasn't one of them. They looked about the same except the originals have a little cargo area in the back (which is now used to ferry more passengers).

BOSTON

BOSTON

I thought this was an interesting perspective of the Boston skyline. It was taken while we were in the car, driving into Boston (Alewife).
