Day 8: Whales, water, and Exploring Boston

Since it was going to be such a nice day we decided to try our luck at Whale watching. We booked tickets on a large catamaran which got out to the whale area faster than any other ship. The ride was uneventful but shortly after we arrove a pod of whales appeared.  We had 4 whales together swimming near the ship for the hour we were there.

When we got back we went right over to the New England aquarium.  We had a quick bite in the cafe and then went to see the sights.
It is a nice facility and the center piece, a 5 story fish tank, was impressive.  Everyone just spent time looking in the huge tank.
It was almost rush hour and everyone needed a break so we headed back to the hotel.  Kasey is getting better with reading maps and dealing with public transportation.

After we decided to do a walk in the South Neighborhhod and look for a place to eat.  The book we brought had good recommendations for both. We ended the night at the Prudential Center.
