A duckling's tour of Boston ...

It all started with "Old Gloria" (in the background), Rotku, Valn, AcadiusLost, and Curmudgeon.
Image

And here we go for a swim!
Image

Passing one landmark (cityscape of Boston w/ Longfellow Bridge in the foreground) ...
Image

And another (engravings on "Peppermill" Bridge, aka Longfellow Bridge)
Image

Curmudgeon and Maxcell having fun!
Image

... While the others were trying to find their way.
Image

And so the ducklings found themselves in the Boston Public Library.
Image

To a marvelous (but unnamed!) room ...
Image

Oh yeah. A marvelous room with a large fireplace too! And there's Rotku.
Image

And Valn. And Maxcell.
Image

While AcadiusLost was the more studious of the group (psst! He was trying to find the Grail) ...
Image

Really! The Grail ... Is it there?
Image

Hmm ... What say the Grail Knights?
Image

Okay. So no Grail, but at least the paintings were amazing!
Image

Having found no Grail, we went to search for something better. Lunch!
Image

And so the foraging began as they looked long and far ...
Image

We found this guy instead. Say hello to paazin!
Image

After all that searching, we needed a well deserved respite.
Image

We then went searching for some cousins (what are they standing on?)
Image

No ... Not that one.
Image


That's all for now. Good times everyone! Oh, and sorry, alynn! For some reason, I didn't take any pictures of the group after our meeting in Faneuil Hall ...

If any of you are ever in "central upstate New York", feel free to give me a shout. :)

Ooookay, almost a month later but here are a few of my pics (and sorry for the delays).

Boston Public Garden:
Image

Shadowdale's Tree:
Image

Nicha, Cade and Hadrian's house in SD:
Image
(Or... Paul Revere's house)

Paazin's former PC, Lereth:
Image
(Or... a statue along Freedom Trail)

The resting place of Rotku's former PCs:
Image
(Or... Copp's Hill Burying Ground)

Those men who braved the Duck Tour.
Legio:
Image

Acadius:
Image

Curm and Maxcell:
Image

In the Boston Public Library, there was an exhibit of old war propaganda posters. Here's one of them:
Image


On Saturday afternoon, the Boston Public Garden's ducks faced SD's former ducklings.
Image

Guess who won?
Image
(Funny enough, look who's in the lead position?)

I can't remember who took the group pics after dinner on Saturday night. Did they turn out well or not?

I have a few videos. I'll see if I can post them somewhere...
Once again, I had a great time and we have to do it again next year! :D
NWN1 PC:
Now (2017): Bran, naive servant of Lathander, currently thinking about opening a potion shop.
circa 2000: JenWa, proud mother duck and half-crazed sorceress of Shadowdale.

Garlus Ironbeard: [d] I was sure there was a reason we brought you along.
Kevorn Trueforger: [d] I'm da funny one and ye're da smart one.

Unfortunately the girl taking the photo hadn't heard of a zoom button.

Well, I still think it's a cool pic! Everyone's on this one.
Thanks Rotku.

I hope you're having a good time in Costa Rica!
