The best of Boston

I thought I would share some of my favorite places in Boston.  The pictures don't do these places justice!  I am still learning how to make everything on my blog look neat and tidy, so bear with me!



Boston Common/Public Garden

Where residents, tourists, ducks and vendors co-exist! The Boston Common is a beautiful park in the middle of Boston, and the Public Garden) is adjacent to the Common (and possibly more beautiful). I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Fun fact: In 1979, Pope John Paul II officiated his first mass on American soil on the Boston Common (in pouring rain)!

Charles River

The river might be one of my FAVORITE things about living in Boston. I am blessed to live in such close proximity to the Charles River (only another high rise and street stand between us). Maybe I just got too used to seeing a cemented river on my daily train rides, but this river is gorgeous! The Charles more or less divides Boston and Cambridge. On the Boston side, there is a long green area referred to as The Esplanade. There are jogging paths, benches, bridges, and even a stage for performances. I love to just walk along the Esplanade and watch people. It is especially beautiful at sunset. From the Boston side, you get a nice view of Cambridge. From the Cambridge side, you have a wonderful view of the Boston skyline.


Beacon Hill

I would love to live in Beacon Hill, but I haven’t amassed enough of a fortune…yet!  I love the tree-lined streets and the brick sidewalks.  I am pretty sure John Kerry has a home in Beacon Hill.
