Elks Lodge in Waterville, Massachusetts for 4 nights.  We actually got up before sunrise to drive to Boston City over the Charles River on the Leonard P. Zakem Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge

We parked at the Boston Harbor, a near-continuous, 43-mile linear park along Boston's shoreline.  The Harborwalk connects Boston's waterfront neighborhoods to Boston Harbor and each other.

Civic leaders and public agencies transformed the Harbor area into one of the most vibrant and 

visited areas of the great city.

A continuous public walkway along the water's edge linking recreational, cultural, and historical attractions.

We are captivated by the architecture and buildings
