Romeo and Juliet

Today was the day that "Romeo and Juliet", the two swans who reside in the Boston Public Garden, were returned to their pond after a winter spent at the local zoo (as an amusing aside, Romeo and Juliet have been a summer fixture in Boston for years, and just the other year it was discovered that they are actually a same sex couple - Juliet and Juliet. Only in Massachusetts!)

The day they release the swans they have a little celebration - a reading of "Make Way for Ducklings", a parade, bands, etc. We went with a few friends to check it out.
