Lots of fun and comradery.. We hiked along the muddy river path from Jamaica Pond to the Fens and encountered much natural life and the obstacle of stepping carefully as not to step in geese droppings. See photo of the culprits (an innocent looking family of geese)!! We ended up at Shattuck Visitor Center - The Emerald Necklace Conservancy in the Fens across from the MFA and then at near by at Pad Thai. Truly, a sunny day!!!
