Our U.S sightseeing:
We landed in U.S (Boston) during spring and this is one of
the beautiful season which comes after winter and before summer. I love this season
because of it's splendour and richness. Birds starts singing, dried grass and
leaves turn into luscious green, flowers bloom beautifully everywhere.
My new friends in Boston told me to visit tulip garden in
Boston Common. I was very excited and did not want to miss this opportunity as
these flowers naturally bloom only once a year. So I, my husband and my son
visited Boston Common and Public Garden on a Sunday morning.
Boston Common is located in the heart of the city and has a
history behind the place.it is one of the oldest park in US. It is bounded by
Beacon Street, Tremont Street, Charles Street, Park Street and Boylston Street.
Boston Common is an open grassy space. There is a frog pond where you can sit
and relax. Kids enjoy as they can splash water and play. There are two frog
bronze idols outside the pond. This pond turns into a place for ice-skating
during winter. Also there is a small playground for kids called as Tadpole
Playground where they have many slides to play. My son had a very good time
playing there and did not want to come back. Adjacent to Boston Common is the
Public Garden which is a must-see place.
Public garden is on a vast area and going to this beautiful
place is really worth it. Since it was spring, there was greenery everywhere.
Lush magnolias and colourful tulips bordering the walk-way and sidewalk were
pleasing to the eyes. We captured pictures of most of the flowers and garden.
There is a beautiful lake in the middle of this garden where we found swan boats.
Swan boat rides are fun but we did not get into that as there were lot of
people waiting for it.We saw cute ducklings waddling through the pond .On the
other side of the garden, there is a carousel for kids to enjoy. We made our 2
year old son to ride on carousel. What’s worth mentioning is the George
Washington Statue here.It's one of the most attractive bronze statue i have
ever seen.
What I basically liked about Boston Common is the ambience
around. I saw many talented street artists. I saw a person playing Hotel
California in a piano, I saw a person singing and also a person flying kite for
the visitors to watch. These people make this place more interesting. If you
feel tired, there are park benches to sit or you can also lie down on the grass
and enjoy the sun or watch people walking around. There are food vendors who
sell ice creams, candy, sandwiches and lots of other stuff.
This is a place to escape from the hustle and bustle of the
city. This garden is spacious and open and even with the presence of large
crowd everywhere, you have sufficient place to walk through the garden, sit on
the lawn and rejuvenate. I would highly recommend people in Boston and people
planning a trip to Boston to Visit this place. Indeed, a lovely get away in the
heart of the city.
