Greetings from Boston

We had chilly but nice weather on Saturday, so we ate lunch early and went to the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston. We got to see lots of animals -- giraffes and their baby, gorilla family, roaring lion, prairie dog community, kangaroos and their baby, parakeets that ate out of people's hands, kookaburras, tapirs, snakes, bats, camels, lemurs, peacocks who wander all over the zoo, and the chipmunks, mice, bunnies, sparrows, and a rat who have snuck into the zoo to live. It was World Turtle Day, so there was also a special presentation with a Blanding's turtle and African tortoise to meet the animals and their keepers. 

Since we were nearby, we went to the Arnold Arboretum to see the azalea border while the rhododendrons are in bloom. After walking up the hill to see some more flowers and the remains of a building foundation inside the garden, we came home and ate leftover Chinese food from earlier in the week. Then we watched the third and fourth episode of the second season of Rivals (Cameron is the only character I really like, because she's the only woman who doesn't identify herself only by what men think of her, so I hope she's lying to Rupert) and now we're watching more Boston Blue (good characters, meh writing).
