Today I took a 20 mile ride. Mostly in and around the Boston area. I am always amazed that even though you think you know an area so well, there are so many things that go unnoticed. For some reason on this day, while I was finishing up a loop through South Boston, I happened to notice a foot path. Since the sun was setting and I wanted a closer look at it, I rode my bike slowly down the foot path. It wasn't that long but wound around the Boston harbour a ways and revealed this really beautiful sky. The most interesting part of that path was that it used to be the location of an iron factory in the 1800's. There are remnants from the wharf which dates back to the 1800's. There are no longer any of the original buildings down there. In fact, the Edison plant is right next to the path which is a little creepy but still an interesting spot.
