    Walked on the Esplanade next to the Charles River
    There were several docks where people relaxed, shared meals, or enjoyed drinks. It was so much fun walking on the esplanade and see the beautiful Charles River.

    You can watch the crew teams practice
    Revisiting the Charles after being away for ~2 years due to COVID restrictions. It's a beautiful river well maintained with biking lanes and walking/jogging lanes. The crew teams were out rowing and it was pleasant to watch from our hotel window. In the rain, you can see the pattern of ripples along the water making for a nice serene quiet time.
