The Charles River is where I feel most at peace here in Boston.
The ducks swim so joyfully when spring approaches, and the leaves start blooming and falling all at the same time. It’s just like heaven.
Joggers come here to stay healthy; people walk and run with their dogs, and you see everyone smiling.
It’s just gorgeous, that feeling you get knowing you are in a city with the sounds of sirens every few minutes blasting in the background… yet knowing you are still close to nature and that everything around you is serene.
I go here to study. I lie down on the deck, with the sun setting in front of me, and I take out my book and read. I hear the ducks swim and fly, hear the dogs chasing the ducks, hear the cars driving past just across the riverside, and then I sometimes fall asleep and let the wind, actual real balmy wind, blow in my face. The feeling is truly sensational and I wish everyone who comes to Boston experiences Charles.
It’s one of those places where you don’t feel like leaving even when the sun has set and the temperature has dropped drastically. You feel like just letting the wind catch you and send you somewhere else. Not exaggerating here! :)
And the sail boats are quite a sight to see against the backdrop of the big blue Charles.
Reflections of all sorts happen here at the Charles.
