Boston
has grown up around Boston Common, which was set aside as public
land in 1634. The obvious first stop on any tour of the city, it
is also one of the gems in the string of nine parks (six of which
were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, America's foremost landscape
architect) known as Boston's Emerald Necklace . Another gem is the
lovely Public Garden , across Charles Street, where the two-ton swan
boats, which paddle across the main pond, are a less-than-natural,
though whimsical, focal point. Hostels in Boston
