Recently, I packed up my bags with few in tow to venture to the ‘oh so sweet, sweet’ land of Boston. It wasn’t the architectural allure, or the historical ambiance; it was the general movement of the city that I fell in love with. I know that I may pose some bias with this assessment, being that I have not yet voyaged to many of our nation’s great cities. But I found it difficult to leave such a great city behind for the journey home.Boston shows its own personality, with its small-town charm and adventurous experiences that continuously await. The structural design of the city contributes to the amazing feeling you get when you walk its streets, enter its shops or enjoy its times past. You can almost hear the city whispering to you, “It’s okay to unwind, indulge, and soak up whatever the day has to offer.” One day you may enjoy shopping for trinkets in Chinatown’s marketplace, and the next day you may tap into your historical vein by walking the Freedom Trail, taking in the sites along the course. I was surprised to find that walking in and out of all the old structures and enjoying all the history was my favorite part of the entire visit. Shopping even took the back-burner! Although that's always a lot of fun, with street vendors on almost every corner trying to haggle some sort of great deal.
We were also able to experience the famous Boston Market! As you first approach this chaotic hall, your stomach is soothed by the delicious aromatics running through the air. You can be quickly overwhelmed by the sheer amount of people bustling through to find some sort of yummy treats for lunch. However, there are plenty of places to choose from and the ordering process reminds you a little of the big city feel. I enjoyed my first city authentic panini and it was delicious! I couldn't tell you what meat was on the sandwich and for some reason, I didn't care; which is unusual for such a picky eater as me. The entire experience was amazing and I would love the thought of being able to visit the great city of Boston again.
Regardless of how you may feel about Boston, or even your own hometown, learn to take a minute to just slow down and marinate in the town’s offerings. You may find something new, exciting, and worth the adventure.
