Time: 4:10 pm Weather: Sunny, 67*F, 19*C, 292*K I went to the Esplanade to observe land and water. I noticed that the closer to the water you get, the windier it is. It is only a small change but it is noticeable. Because of this, the closer to the water, the slightly colder it feels. I did not check the temperature of the water because I do not have a thermometer. I also was uncomfortable sticking my hand in it because of how notoriously dirty the Charles River is. Using a pH strip, I found the pH of the water to be about six. Since this is just one step below the neutral ph 7, the Charles has slightly more hydrogen ions than pure water. The main difference I noticed about the terrain close to the water's edge versus further away, was that there's a lot of tall weeds right along the water's edge and further away it is just grass.
