Distance: 2 miles
Fates are conspiring to keep my current obsession (non-reunion trip to the East Coast) alive. Eg, when I was waffling about hitting the 'continue to purchase' button on Virgin America I encountered a note from them saying I had (essentially the price of the ticket) in my 'miles bank' and did I want to use it. One of my imaginary, book and cancel trips. I had totally forgotten.
The I texted my Portland brother who drops in on Boston every once in a while for any hotel suggestions. Turns out he is going to be there for two nights at exactly the time I would/will/maybe be there. So, that would be fun, hanging out with him a bit in Boston.
Wonder what other unexpected circumstances are headed down the (Turn) pike.

The fountain is situated near the Leeson Street entrance to the park. It consists of a group of three bronze figures - representing the Three Fates, who weave and measure the thread of man's destiny.
Notes
- ↑ The three fates refer to the Greek Goddessses that spin destiny.
