Day Two in Boston

Chara & I woke up early and took a train to the Commons, where I wanted to show her old people doing Tai Chi or Boa Bum (or however that's spelled).  The train got us there too late for that, but we got Chara some coffee & watched an old guy do Boa Bum (or however that's spelled) in the dried-up Frog Pond while a toddler tried to escape his mom and create an avalanche with his stroller.  And there was a pretty dog.  Eventually we left & wandered along the Esplanade, where a reporter on the Globe interviewed us on Goose Issues.  I think we did something after that, then headed back into the city to meet Mom & Nathan at Copley.  We then all walked up Boyleston to find food and ended up at the Pour House, home of the biggest nacho plate in the world.  We left there and explored the Boston Public Library (I liked the dioramas best), then went outside and tried to decide what to do next.  Chara & Nathan wanted to go on the Sam Adams tour, so we did that, then wandered up through JP and went to JP Licks for bathrooms and ice cream.  Chara then went back to the hotel to shower & meet Dad, while Mom, Nathan & I went south to Forest Hills Cemetery.  We wore out our feet some, then rode buses north to meet Katie, Dad, & Chara at Harvard.  We got to Bentley's Burgers right as they closed, played decapitated chickens for a minute while trying to find someplace else to eat, then ended up at Uno's.  After dinner we wandered around Harvard some, then all went to bed.
