Yesterday, to celebrate the first day of summer, I went for a big walk around Boston. I went from Longwood to the MFA, through the South End and Back Bay to Copley Square, to the Public Garden, through Beacon Hill to the Charles River, and along the Esplanade. I also saw George Washington a few times and got a sunburn.
