Lobster boating

At the end of our journey, we proudly show off our lobster. THANKS, Rev. Rob John for a wonderful adventure in lobstering!

Rev. Rob John also taught us how to stir/cruise the boat. Here Cheng Shieh got a private lesson.

Mother lobster with zillion of eggs. She returns to the bottom of the ocean.

Chris caught another mother lobster with eggs... No dinner for us.

Here is how to measure the lobster for dinner or for freedom.

Cheng Shieh and a juvenile lobster, which one is cuter?.... maybe I can wear it as an earring? We threw the lobster back to the ocean, thankfully!

Here is our first lobster waiting in the parlor for our dinner.

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.
