Wow, what a day we had yesterday. The part I really liked was getting in 5.18 miles of walking according to the trusty pedometer. Well, that is not to say I wasn't a little sore this morning but it feels good to move. AND...it was so much warmer than last year. Last year at the kite festival we about froze, this year we did wear our coats but it was pleasant. Lots of little kites and kids having fun. The only thing that disappointed was that the tower on the Old Post Office was closed because of the weather. We had decided to hike over there and go up the tower. It's supposed to be one of the best views in the city, but we could only go to the ninth floor because they were afraid someone might slip. We did see the bell ropes that go to the Congress Bells in the tower and learned a lot about "change ringing" which is different than normal bell ringing.
The fish market was the best. Lots of smelly fish and fish hawkers trying to get our business. There were bushels and bushels of blue crabs so I wish someone would invite us to a crab boil since we don't have the means to do it ourselves. We made due with shrimp, scallops and ocean perch. Not bad.
