From Georges Island, Daniel and I took a small water taxi to Spectacle Island, a smaller island closer to the mainland. We chose to hike one of the trails around to the other side of the island. A shady spot provided the perfect place to stop and enjoy the snacks we had brought along. We took in the sights and sounds that surrounded us - the view of Boston and other islands, sailboats sailing by, and the sound of waves crashing against the rocks below us. We finished our hike back at the pier and and returned to Boston on the ferry. After stopping for ice cream, we returned home on the train. Daniel and I really enjoyed our time on the islands, especially Georges Island and definitely plan to make a return trip.
