4th of July in Boston

It has been our first 4th of July in America. It has been incredible. It’s amazing how the American citizens live this day. I don’t know if in all cities are the same but in Boston is a day that makes the hairs on the back of your neck standing on end. The riverside was full of people; there wasn’t any centimeter of grass free to sit down. Everybody was out of their houses ready to live the freedom day. I don’t know if it is because I’m from Spain and we aren’t very patriots but this patriotism see on life is astonishing for me.

We went to the River Charles Esplanade on midday to look around and know what the Americans do in this particular day that you know from the films. The Esplanade was full of people everybody camped in everywhere, after the 4th of July I’ve discovered that everybody goes early to have a good spot to listen the music and to see the night fireworks.

The fireworks started around half past ten and I don’t know if it’s because the environment and the situation, they had been the best ones that I’ve ever seen. Thousands of people looking at the sky at the same time, waiting for the light and colors coming from the fireworks, it is something impossible to forget.

I forgot my camera and I had to take the pictures with the Iphone, but I’ll always have the moment recorded on my mind.  

Running along the Charles River

First of all I hate run, but the age and the kilos have pushed me to do something, to be precise exercise, and where could be the best place to do it, The Charles River Esplanade.

I have to push myself to go to run but when I cross the bridge and I'm able to see the river is an experience that's worth all the effort.

I did it walking and is a good experience too but my circumstances make me run. I don't feel alone because everybody run there. I remember the first time that I saw the river, a month and a half ago, it's quite wide and transmit peace, you can see all the city from the bridge and is a good sensation.

If it's good weather, it's been since May, you can see the families and couples having picnic, it should be a nice experience see to get dark on the river side. (A pending matter.)

Today has been the first day that I ran first thing in the morning, maybe is the second one , but is the first one that I was able to enjoy the running without die at half way.

All the preparations are ready for July the 4th, is going to be really especial because is going to be my first 4th of July in US, and is going to be in my new city, BOSTON.
I feel great and best of all IS FRIDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
Good Holiday long weekend.
