Boston part 3 - parks and candles

Some more updating! 

This was a couple days before Christmas (which we're working up to in update form). We wandered the very cold Boston Commons (good for trayning and cattle grazing, according to the info carved in stone) and admired the landscape.

This bridge is especially pretty and of course features in Make Way for Ducklings, a Boston classic.

The ducks also feature.

And their refuge island, which looks very well used.

Ellie would make an excellent duckling, particularly given her excellent individual navigation skills

Seen here riding sidesaddle very stylishly

We weren't game enough to go skating that day - too uncoordinated on solid ground!

We also went to the annual Hannukah party and sang many Hannukah carols, accompanied by an enthusiastic accordion player

Favourite non conventional Menorah
