Walden Pond – Concord

This weekend we have visited Walden Pond in Concord . My half missed country side and we tried to hike there. The chosen place was The Walden Pond, a beautiful place where you can walk around the Lake and you can swim there. The estimate time to walk around the Pond is around one hour. It was a pity that we forgot our swimwears because the fantastic and hot day invited you to swim in the Pond.

You have to go early because if not you will find the car parking close, I think that is a good measure to avoid a crowed place. We parked the car one mile away from the Pond Parking and walked aside the road till we found the beginning of the path.

As you walk, you can see countless spices of animals, little snakes, squirrels, birds … you can also hear the wooden pickers above your head. At half of your walk you can see the place where Henry Thoreau  lived for some years, now you can see some rocks where the house was, respecting the environment.

When we finished the walk, we went to visit Concord, a beautiful town with beautiful houses. We parked in front of a fantastic Cheese shop called “The Concord Cheese Shop” . It’s a little gem in a little town; you can find the finest wines and cheeses from around the world that you can ever imagine, we saw wines from Spain that barely can find there and the most surprising are the prices, they aren’t astronomical are reasonable a good thing to make me a regular costumer because Boston is only a few miles away. By the way today we had dinner with the fantastic white wine that we bought there, Brown Stone, a Californian one.

We show this sign of the First Parish of Concord with a Martin Luther King Jr. quote that I think that more than one politic have to read and applied in their management.  " True Peace is not merely the absence of tension is the presence of justice"

Because the walk and the Concord visit took to us less time that we have planed we went to Gloucester.  I’ll take about on my next post.
