Nice little Saturday...

After sleeping in and a leisurely stroll through the Roslindale Village Farmer's Market, it was decided that we must get some exercise in on such a beautiful day. A little exercise turned into a bike expedition around Boston. Stops were made along the way to refuel with Gelato and frozen yogurt. Neither of us had had the pleasure of biking along the Esplanade until the Saturday. It is such a wonderful part of the city. Beautiful benches, shade trees, floating piers offering you the chance to dip your toes in the Charles River, and well groomed walking and biking trails. Below is a map of our route:

About 20 miles total. We followed up our ride with a traditional summer feast of grilled bratwurst, corn on the cob (from the above mentioned farmers market - from the oldest operating farm in the city limits of Boston), and a cucumber/tomato salad. Later that evening we went to see The Black Keys. The Black Keys played at the Bank of America Pavilion located in South Boston right on the waterfront. It is a somewhat open air pavilion with a large canopy covering most of the seats. The weather was perfect and the Black Keys put on an excellent show!

It was a nice little Saturday.
