Day 6 - September 4, 2001 Last updated: 9/4/01 9:00pm EDT
We took a whale watching tour today with Boston Harbor Cruises. It was a 3 hour tour that turned into 4 hours because the whales were out a little farther than they thought. We didn’t stay too long with the whales, and we certainly didn’t see as many as we did in Alaska, but these were humpback whales, and they don’t travel in large pods like the killer whales that we saw in Alaska. The “naturalist” that was on the boat said there were 7 or 8 whales out there, while Denise and I only saw 3. Here’s a picture of one taking a dive.
We got caught in a little rain as we were walking back to the hotel from the harbor, but we were prepared with the rain gear. It only rained for about an hour. The rest of our time here is suppose to be sunny and lower 70s.
Since today was our anniversary (number 7, no itching), we had dinner at our hotel’s fancy restaurant ($$$). This is the place where the Boston Cream Pie was invented. Dinner was so filling that we split a Boston Cream Pie. It was real good. Here’s us on the boat.
