Boston - the place to be

A travel story by - CJ M.

Boston, a city that will give you anything you want, when you want it. I landed in Boston for a conference in Cambridge. My time was committed to adventures in the lecture hall for the last week of July. I thought I would never experience anything Boston had to offer during my stay. I was wrong.

In only a few short minutes a person, a group, a family is able to travel anywhere in and around Boston to catch the sights and take part in Boston’s numerous community adventures. My time was limited to late afternoons and evenings. I took the underground, or subway, to Boston Park station. From there I walked the historical Boston trail reading and chatting with people from around the U.S. and the world. Another evening off I went to Regina’s, a pizza place in the North End of Boston. Real pizza, made by true Italian Bostonians, served with energy and accent. Another evening I sat with hundreds of people on the Boston Commons enjoying Shakespeare in the Park. If you don’t have a blanket, you can rent a lawn chair.

Cambridge was my home for about a week. Traveling by rail to and from Boston is quick, easy, and cheap. In Cambridge visit Harvard and Radcliff, historical cemeteries, and the museums, especially the Sackler Art and the Natural History Museum (these are unbelievable places housing art and history you will never forget!!)

My suggestion, take a whale watch tour out of the Boston harbor, walk the Boston Gardens, visit cemeteries and historical landmarks (found everywhere in Boston), and eat pizza. You’ll love it, anytime of the day or night.
