Editor's note: Jenny has bravely participated in the Monument Beach Polar Bear Plunge two years in a row! Way to go, Jenny! There's still time to join our winter ocean plunge team for the one at Revere Beach this Saturday! Sign up now!!
So there I was at Phinney's Harbor on a snowy beach with a crowd of locals for the 13th Annual Monument Beach Polar Bear Plunge. According to the guy on the bullhorn, the air temp was 34° and the water temp was 30°.
Edit Jan. 28: The photos are up! Try to identify the artwork and the stations here!
While waiting for a train at Park Street recently, my eye was drawn to something that had never before caught my attention: a metal sculpture of a pointing hand, suspended on the concrete above the far end of the track (right). The fact that it had escaped my attention lo these countless times I had been there got me thinking: what other urban art installations are peppered throughout the subway? How many do I pass on a daily basis, without even noticing?
We just couldn't get enough of 'taking our pants off in public' this winter, so us Adventure bloggers have decided to sign up for the 2011 Passion Plunge at Revere Beach this February. The water is going to be FREEZING, but it's all for two really good causes (in no particular order):
~ Living Adventurously
~ Supporting the Special Olympics
There are three ways you can get involved.
A: You can join our team and ask your friends, family, and/or coworkers to donate a small amount to sponsor your madness.
B: If you're not willing to brave the chilly waters, you could simply join the team (still asking people to sponsor you) and only come to the beach to offer support (that includes wearing our team costume!)
C: If you'd rather stay indoors under a blanket with a bowl of hot soup, you could just make a donation and receive warm and happy feelings for doing a nice thing! A small $7 or $8 donation will go a long way to helping us out!
