The Freedom Trail – South End
Boston Common is a lovely park, and a great place to either start or end a walk on the Freedom Trail. If you are traveling by car, there is a parking garage under the park.

The word Serendipity trips and tickles off the tongue, conjuring up images of butterflies and other delightful discoveries that present themselves to me without my having to hunt for them. These discoveries produce joyful moments, when a laugh bubbles up in my throat and bursts out spontaneously, and I find myself yearning for more of these delightful moments. It was back in 1754 that Horace Walpole first used the word Serendipity, referencing the fairy tale The Three Princes of Serendip*.
