Charles River Esplanade
There is so much going on, on the Charles River Esplanade – but that’s only my guess, quiet as it was on that cloudy May Day. On warmer days, the Hatch Cell becomes alive with concerts and plays. There are many sports and playgrounds alongside, and paddling on the river. People are walking and jogging, others play on the lawn. Families and friends share picnics. There is music and laughter and basking in the sun. But, for now, let us enjoy a precious moment of peace, as transient and fragile as those pink cherry blossoms.

The Sunflower Castle
A lovely feature, merry and strikingly different among the red brick row houses of the Beacon Hill.

Running up that (Beacon) Hill
Or better yet, walking. Long strolls are the best way to marvel at the architecture of Beacon Hill, one of the most picturesque areas in Boston. With the Massachusetts State House, its gold gilded dome gleaming even in the rain, 19th century historical buildings like The Tudor, gas-lit and tree-lined streets, cobblestoned narrow passages, the Louisburg Square with some of the most exclusive residences in the city – and the most expensive ones in the whole of the U.S.A. – there will many instances to stop, gawp and catch your breath, I promise!

Cheers!
From the iconic pub that became the inspiration for the setting of the American TV classic show ”Cheers”. Located on Beacon Street across the street from the Public Garden, homey and unpretentious with a replica of the set bar, hundreds of stills and other mementos from the TV series on the walls, a decent selection of food and drinks and scores of cheery tourists, the pub has secured its position as one of the top tourist attractions in Boston. Either you are a fan of the show or just a tourist in need of some cheering up, Cheers has you covered.

Make Way for Ducklings
Mrs. Mallard with Jack, Kack, Lack, Mack, Nack, Ouack, Pack, and Quack, are out for a walk in the park. Dressed in their springly attire, daring the sun to come out (but – wisely – keeping their woolen shawls on, just in case it wouldn’t).
