Today is a saturday & we took a train to Boylston Stn.in the morning. Runi wanted to guide us to Boston common and Boston Public Garden. Yash had his own job & kept indoors. Arlington stn was closed to the commuters for some reason. When at Boylston, we were pleasantly surprised to see a mammoth crowd waiting there in Boston Common and the Garden area to see a rally of the victorious local team Boston Bruins who have just won the Stanley Cup (related to Ice hockey) beating a Canadian team of Vancouver.
I don't know anything of ice hockey save the fact that sometimes I saw a few matches in Cable TV. But, seeing the frenzy all around, I also was inspired & waited eagerly to see the victorious team who soon came in well-decorated cars (Duck tour). Children up in trees , fans cheering at the top of their voice & people overlooking fm big buildings in the vicinity------- what a scene. The cup was held high by the players & the crowd became fanatic. They cheered & cheered. Flash flash----- everybody wanted to be a part of this historic moment . Historic in the sense that a Boston club won this cup after quite a long period, if I am not wrong.
Next, we entered the garden and had some good time seeing flowers and people in various attire & in cheerful mood. Many snapshots were taken by Runi and dada.
Next, we went to the Trinity Church which was closed and we waited in the vicinity to let the very big crowd get reduced. Otherwise, trains would be heavily crowded & that might cause us a problem.
In the next phase, we boarded a train for Riverside & got down at Beaconsfield.
In the evening, Yash & Runi drove us to Castle island------ a very nice place away fm the din & bustle of the city. Here there is a remarkable castle with cannons placed at different angles on the top facing the sea. It is a bay & people gather here for fishing , picnic and weekend outings. Yash met 1 or 2 persons from Maharashtra & was seen talking to them earnestly; we also met a Bengalee family who hail fm Bangladesh & speaking bengali with them was a relief. Airplanes were either getting down or going up, as the airport was near-by.Runi , Yash & dada also, took many snapshot. Boat cruise was to be seen in the sea-water. Boats & yachts were also there. Some people were seen fishing. Yash showed us jelly fish in sea-water.
Runi & Yash bought ice-cream & fish fry & we had taste of the same.
It was about 9-25 P. M & Yash drove us back home at about 10-o-clock.
