The Charles River runs through Boston. The river is very wide. You can see many sailboats and kayaks on the shore. The river water looks very clean. Harvard, MIT, Boston University and other world-class universities are all built on the riverside. It feels like a very vibrant area. When the weather is good, the view is particularly good. I envy the children who can go to school here.
The Charles River runs through the city. I saw Haruki Murakami run several marathons in Boston. I think running a few kilometers along the Charles River in spring is the happiest thing. Today, the streets of Boston are crowded with young people wearing green T-shirts. After dinner, I chatted with the hotel waiter and learned that today is St. Patrick's Day, which is to commemorate St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. I walked a section of the Freedom Road in the cold wind, measuring the city with my feet and touching the things that happened hundreds of years ago under these buildings.
