Hiking & Kayaking at the Fells

Here is our crew: Cynthia, Angelika, Nanan & Chris.

Feel the water ... it's so refreshing and cool. This is my favorite thing to do in the world! Let my honey do the rowing while I'm enjoying the ride on this kayak ... ahhh, life is good!

Angelika and Cynthia enjoy kayaking together at Spot Pond.

We reached to this Bear Hill tower which sits on top of igneous rock. You can see the city of Boston on the horizon, and Boston harbor in a clear day.
