marathon monday

once more and it has very likely been our last time to watch and cheer for runners at the boston marathon!
after breakfast and practicing our instruments we packed sandwiches and water bottles. we hopped on the 39 bus and walked over to coolidge corner, and of course as in years past, we met william dawes on his horse on shortly before the first wheelchair racers came down the hill! this year was special with a lot more wheelchairs, as 15 veterans, all double amputees wheeled their way to success.
of course i could not walk by paper source located at coolidge corner... and it was good that we stop by, they had a lot of paper on sale!

i got a few sheets for 1/2 off and those great recicled newspaper pencils, i'm very certain they will find a good home some day.
it was a succefull day and ended with elias making a dish of baklava! mmhhhh dessert for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...
