Here we are at the Boston Public Garden.  World famous for the Swan Boats and, of course,
where Robin Williams sat with Matt Damon sat to discuss life.  The bench where they sat has been turned into a memorial for Robin, with cards, flowers and mementos. 

Here are the swan boats - awaiting their drivers.

 

And here is a ballet company performing Swan Lake on an actual Swan Boat!

 

 

 

 

Her are some other views of the Public Garden...

 

 

 

 

If you are ever strolling there, you must Make Way for Ducklings! 

 

 

 

Make Way for Ducklings is a children's picture book written and illustrated by Robert McCloskey. First published in 1941, the book tells the story of a pair of mallards who decide to raise their family on an island in the lagoon in Boston Public Garden, a park in the center of Boston.  The names of the ducklings mentioned in the story are: Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Oack, Pack and Quack.

As of 2003, the book had sold over two million copies. The book's popularity led to the construction of a statue by Nancy Schön in the Public Garden of the mother duck and her eight ducklings. In 1991, Barbara Bush gave a duplicate of this sculpture to Raisa Gorbachev as part of the START Treaty, and the work is displayed in Moscow's Novodevichy Park^..
The book is the official children's book of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
