Our guide into Boston Harbor
Going by a pool to an upper deck
Watching the ship come into Boston Harbor from the deck above me – Deck 14
This was a busy area – with ships in the water and airplanes landing and taking off from Logan Airport.
I was surprised to see a Four Seasons (Denver, PA) truck on the dock. The green and white one.
Just can’t resist taking pictures of trucks. 🙂
The surprise of this trip was discovering that Cameron and his mom, Bev, were one this cruise. They live less than a mile from us and go to our church. We traveled on separate busses to New York and discovered each other at our breakfast stop on Sunday.
Preparing to tour Boston on amphibious ducks.
Notice the duck feet. 🙂
Our knowledgeable and interesting guide.
Our group was on four vehicles, so we occasionally met other ducks.
Going back on dry land.
Anyone recognize this? It’s the home of the Boston Celtics.
Located on Boston Commons, Augustus Saint Gaudens’ bronze relief sculpture, in a setting designed by architect Charles McKim, is eleven feet high by fourteen feet wide.
A statue of Mary Dyer – She was born Marie Barrett, and an English and colonial American Puritan turned Quaker who was hanged in Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony, for repeatedly defying a Puritan law banning Quakers from the colony. She is one of the four executed Quakers known as the Boston martyrs.
Two hours later we were back at the ship.
6:00 PM – time for our evening meal.
We came in from the upper deck of the restaurant to get these pictures.
Dessert

I was tired and headed back to our stateroom. Cerwin went to the Cool Lounge to hear John Schmid’s presentation: “A Song and a Story.”
On this night there was a “stingray” on our bed.
Oh, what a delightful, interesting, relaxing day.
That’s a LOT of sightseeing for just 2 hours. I have seen those Duck boats, and am always afraid they look like sinking buses! They do provide interesting viewpoints, though!There’s nothing like a day on salt water to induce a good night’s sleep!
They do look like sinking busses. 🙂
That is an amazing trip! Thanks for sharing it. I had to laugh at your truck picture.
I just can’t resist taking truck pictures. 🙂
Lovely post and pictures. You took a picture of the ship my Dad was on in WWII, the Cassin Young. I will show it to him. We hope to get him up there to see the ship next Spring/Summer. He is 90 and still able to get around by the grace of God.
Oh, wow! Do take him to see it.
You and Cerwin look so very young and relaxed in your photo ~ 🙂
