Compared to the Denver Zoo, this place was a ghost town!  Also, much, much shadier.  The best part?  Feeding the Finches at the Aussie Aviary

And this really cool carousel and park.

Look closely and you will see our animal siblings rode the carousel with us.

The zoo also brought with it a special adoption.  Meet Johnny, the Pygmy Hippo.  Blake told the story of his adoption.  It went something like this, “ Johnny woke up today hoping it would be the day when someone would take him home.  I walked into the store and picked him up off the shelf.  And that’s the end of the story!”

Later that evening we picnicked at the Esplanade

And enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the Charles, and some striking night time views of Boston as we scootered home over the Harvard Bridge.

Today we took a respectable 26,269 steps.
