A wider shot of the Wellesley view. Near Boston Marathon #3 (GCNC5K), waypoint 1 of the 3 stage multi. We were able to find stages 1 and 2, but not the final. I hate striking out... but we got a great walk with fabulous company, and I got a ton of awesome pictures with my new camera.

Not a bad outing after all.
