Bike trail + Boston Marathon

I'm a little late for this post, but it was a busy week...
Last weekend we tried something different around Boston: there are lots of bike trails that you can take and get to know either the city of Boston or its surroundings. For the one we decided to take we had to go until the last station of the red line subway and there you are in a point where you can choose: in one direction you go inside Boston and in the other, you go outside. We took the outside direction. It's a really nice program: the road is paved and pretty flat, which makes it accessible to children and also elderly. At the same time it can be a long way and there are points where you can go inside the woods, what makes it more challenging. Of course we tried everything, and it was a lot of fun!! In our way back we stopped in Arlington, a small  and charming city where we had lunch in an italian restaurant. The trail actually follows a pathway with historical spots, where the American Revolution began in April 1775. Really a pleasant program for the weekend, totally recommend.
On Monday there was Boston Marathon, a big event, stopped the city! We went to Boyslton street, close to the end of the ride to watch it. The streets were crowded and everybody seemed to like it a lot. Later there was a ride for normal people (not athletes), so the event kept going until late evening  on Monday.
So, as usual, a busy weekend for Boston...
