How was your Saturday?

Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts is my hidden gem of the week. Okay so it’s not that hidden. But you can bet your ass its a gem. First I wanted to go to the ocean, maybe take a trip up to Ipswich, but upon furter thought, I really wanted some fresh water. Me in the Swimming HoleA short commuter rail ride to Concord and then a short bike ride to the pond made it a very accessible swimming area even for people without a car [me]. The beach itself isn’t very mindblowing especially since there were about 5,000 babies with diapers contaminating everything. With a short walk around the pond on the “healthy trail” there are these little stone stairways that go down into the water and a crystal clear private swimming hole awaits you. The water was great, probably the warmest I have ever felt, and it was clean and refreshing. After that, you can go and check out a remake of Henry David Thoreau’s cabin. It only cost him $28.12 to build.

On the 19th I’m going on a roadtrip to Miami and back so please send some comments about places that I should see. Thanks for reading, and thanks for watching.
