The Gayla Pink Apple
I love Boston - love visiting Boston - and, yes, mostly because my daughter went to Emerson College in Boston. But, also because of the history of Boston and it is a great city.
Emerson campus is on Boylston Street across the street from Boston Pubic Garden and Boston Common (the oldest city park in the US.)
There are colleges all over Boston - seems colleges on every street corner - college students at every turn! People living life and especially young college students starting out - the beginnings of their journey through life.

Boston is rich in history. The Freedom Trail, Boston's most historic walking path; Fenway Park, world famous ballpark.
Some of you will remember Cheers - where everybody knows your name! The pub made famous by the TV show.
Newbury Street Famous Shopping
Boston's famous Newbury Street for fine restaurants and designer shopping along the brick paved sidewalks and beautiful buildings.

Each school year that my daughter was in college there, 2008/09 - 2011/12,) I often would wish that I'd just so happen to be there visiting her on the day of the Boston Marathon - but, it never happened.

The Marathon route runs right in front of her then dorm rooms, later her apartment, on Boylston Street. I never wanted to run a marathon - and still don't - but I always wanted to be in Boston on the day of the Boston Marathon to experience the atmosphere and see the joy of those runners!

I started running in 2011 and during my visits to Boston in 2011/2012, I ran in Boston Common and walked the city, specifically Boylston Street, many times. When I think about my physical self standing right in the middle of Boylston, I recall the excitement and exhilarating high and joy I felt being there. My heart feels your pain right now, Boston!
I love Boston,
