Whale Watching 

There is a whale spawning gound just off Boston.  This used to be the worl capital for whale hunting and there is a great museum at New Bedford (where Moby Dick was written).

			Jaine, Chloe and Conor and the Boston skyline.  This is the financial district, where I work.
	Boston Harbour hotel.  This where I catch the commuter boat from in Boston.		Inside the boat.
	Coming to America?		A whale jumping out the water.  The guide is uncertain why they do this - either to communicate, to get barnacles off, or just for fun!
	A whale swam right next to the boat.  They are about 65 tons and around 40 feet long.		A whale jumping in the distance.

Cycling

There is a beautiful stste park near our house - Wampatuck State Park.  It used to be a military base and so has lots of tarmaced paths, which are excellent for cycling.   And lots of off-road ones too Rod!

	Loaded up and raring to go.		Conor has a trailer bike that attaches to Simon's.
	A picnic in the woods.		Resting on a rock.  As the temperature is normally 85 plus, we stop a lot!
