Duck+Tours

Write in here your comments about the Duck Tours, Battleship cove and Swanboats The Duck tours was certainly a land and sea adventure! I am overly excited when I think back to this, The super Tour, as my first experience on the journey of environmental and transportation studies. I especially loved hearing about the historic North end, and the design of buildings (the old vs the new) in boston! I was impressed when I heard about the construction of the vehicle that carried us from our everyday routines onto the water of reality. I'm not sure I will spell it correctly but, sterofoam, yes steroform is what helps the vehicle to become a sea vessel from a land vehicle. It makes one wonder about the make up of birds etc. that live their lives in such magnificient structures. The Swan Boats-ah another miraculous invention! I am impressed once again with the true spirit of Boston and The Boston common. Everything just "fits" in this city of paradise. Eventhough Swan Boats weren't around when henry James sat in his window at the Parker House centuries ago and remarked how wonderful Boston's Horse and buggy system was, it is all of that (the past) and so much more today (future). To have such a luxry smack in the middle of this great city is certainly one of the "wonders of this world." Peddeling, which is good healthy transportation is alive and well in Boston(in more ways than one can ever imagine! today the wonder place called battleship Cove. I have to admit, I thought it was a cove. Yes, almost 60 and I never really thought about it. How embarassing! I am so grateful for all the knowledge I have added to the creases in my brain this week so far. I am truly a "scardy cat of the water...I ve never told anyone, buy you Nancy, but I am overcoming it. Yes, I feel as alive as the city. The construction of this city and it's beauty and available sights to participate in aare absolutely remarkable to me...a gal who grew up in the woods of Maine. Such ideas we could add to other states that lack such fun, healthy, clean, enlightening, and educational activities. forever grateful, Dana
