Lord of the Penguins

We went down to the waterfront to go to the aquarium in Boston as they had loads and loads of penguins 'on display'. Paige was beside herself with excitement over this as she spent 3 months looking after penguins in South Africa last year so she was looking forward to being reunited with her feathered friends. I will admit that they were very cute but the smell wasn't so great! I can see why Paige loved working with them though, some of them, especially the rockhopper ones had great personalities! Very cheeky. The aquarium also had tropical fish, a giant turtle, sharks and jellyfish - to name but a few! We then saw some seals being trained which was very sweet. We had a bit of fun in the gift shop (as you can see above) then pottered about before heading over to Haaaaaarvard to see where Paige's Dad went to school. It was really beautiful around there and you could just sense the intelligence in the air! We had a little guide book to Boston and it told us about The Comedy Studio in Harvard so we went along. The comedians were really funny and some of them had been on Comedy Central, The Letterman Show and on Ellen De...Ellen Degener....you know Ellen's show! The following day we wanted to go and see what a Boston beach was like so that we did but there was no sunshine whatsoever! So we lay on the beach fully clothed! But it was very relaxing anyway. As it was our last night we were trying to come up with a plan for the evening so we headed back to Boston Common. We struck luck as they were showing a free production of Othello so we sat and watched and it was pretty good. The actors were amazing and there was a great atmosphere in the common. It rounded off the end of our time in Boston brilliantly.
