We spent a second day in Concord. This is the home of some of the greatest in American Literature. Thoreau, Emerson, Alcott and Hawthorne all lived there. We had a nutso tour guide in Emerson/Hawthorne's house. She was so funny! Usually I get the really lame tour guide, but this time I got the good one. We had to put booties on like you do when going through the temple open house. So I put booties on Ryan's crutches. It was pretty cool ;) Louisa May Alcott's home was kind of interesting, the tour got kind of long though. I had no idea that Little Women was so much a reflection of her own life.
We went to Waldon pond (which doesn't really look like a pond, more like a lake.) This is where Thoreau wrote his most famous work while living in a $28 shed. We were going to go swimming, but we didn't end up having time to. I was kind of sad about that. We traveled to New Hampshire tonight.
Oh yeah and these are members of the football team in town...from a far I thought they were girl scouts... imagine my surprise. ;)

For a girl who can take a picture of anything i feel as though you missed your opportunity in boston
Ahem...I meant Boston and Concord
'scuse me...but if you will remember my camera was found by someone who apparently needed it more than I do...therefore the picture acquisition process isn't as easy as I would like...ya know ;)
When you get home... we should have a lesson about girl scouts!
