Returned home last Wednesday. Boston area is colder than usual for this time of the year. Finally started my walk activity today. Reservoir is short drive from my home. The beautiful blvd you see in one of the pics is Waterworks Museum. Have taken family and friends to see it. If you have the opportunity to be around this area stop by the museum. It’s right across from the reservoir.

Beautiful 1.5 mile track. Only one side has trees for shade though, but there’s benches scattered around if you’d like to take a rest and catch your breath. :)
