Last Night in Boston - Lexington & Walden Pond

---

Energized from our delectable dairy desserts, we made our way to my brother's trusty blue chrome steed and headed for Lexington. We only walked along Lexington Battle Road a little past the spot where Paul Revere was captured before heading back due to the fading daylight. It was fun trying to imagine the revolutionary history emboldened in Lexington and were intrigued by number of rock fences we saw. Walden Pond was a good experience as well despite the fact that we could only reach half of it due to the flooding. It is basically just a large pond with nice paths in between moderately to densely wooded areas. Many mosquitoes though. It is one of my brother's favorite running/biking paths. We even saw one swimmer braving the cold waters for some fun.

With our socks wet and our shirts slightly sweaty, we made our way to Not Your Average Joe's for dinner. Both of us ordered the Crab Cake BLT which proved more novel than tasty. However, the bread was absolutely fantastic...service not so much. After a short break, we fit in a workout at Planet Fitness and then closed the evening with another session of Borderlands!

Next morning, I packed my things and said goodbye to Boston enjoying one last ride on a subway system that is actually convenient.

Vanilla Bomb!!
At a small and very tasty yogurt/ice cream shop we passed on the way back to the North Station right before the bridge. Delicious smoothies and malts...forgot the name, but the sign is very colorful

Walden Pond
Near the Visitor's Center? I don't know, just where we first came in

Swimmer in Walden Pond
Way too cold, especially seeing how flooded the pond is now after the March rains - you couldn't even get to the waterside path anymore!

First Puddle we Encountered
Easily walked the edge of it to cross without getting too wet

Second Puddle
A bit more difficult to navigate

Too big to be Called a Puddle
This is where we decided to turn back...I mean maybe if we were wearing flip-flops and shorts, ha
