On a cold December evening fourteen TOHG members met at the Boston Common Park Street Visitors Center. We walked through the Common and stopped a moment to watch the skaters on the Frog Pond. Crossing into The Public Garden we visited with Mrs Quack and the ducklings statues from the book Make Way for Ducklings.
After wandering by the Swan Pond, which was frozen with people walking on the surface, we crossed the bridge stopped by the George Washington statue and proceeded to cross over to Commonwealth Avenue. The center walkway was well lit with white lights. We turned around at the Firemen’s Memorial for the victims of the Vendome fire; retracing our steps back through the Public Garden and Common. We stopped at the beautifully lit Nova Scotia tree then proceeded to our dinner at the Ned Devine's restaurant in the Faneuil Hall area.
Despite the cold and sometimes windy weather it was an enjoyable evening.
