Hi, I’m Barry Friswold,
I’m leading a social justice hike on Sun. May 22*

The funds raised will go directly to Lutheran Volunteer Corps where I spent a year living in Washington D.C. working in social justice.

Boston is known as “The Walking City,” so I thought it would be fun to start at my house in the South End (across Street from the Sunday SOWA Open Market and Beer Garden ) and explore the city in segments so people can join all or parts of the walk.

The hike segments with rough time estimates are as follows:

• South End (at SOWA Markets) to Trinity Church in Back Bay (.8 Mile; approx. 30 min)
• Trinity Church in Copley Square through Newbury Street and Commonwealth Avenue through Public Garden to Beacon Hill (.9 Mile; approx. 30 min)
• Beacon Hill past State House, Boston Common, historic cemeteries to Holocaust Memorial near Faneuil Hall (1 Mile; approx. 45 min)
• Past Long Wharf along Rose Kennedy Greenway to Seaport District (.9 Mile; approx. 30 min)
• Beverage break on rooftop at Envoy Hotel (approx. 30-60 min)
• End Day train back to South End SOWA Market or walk along Greenway/Fort Point Channel (1.7 Mile; approx. 45 min)

The full day will start at 10:30 and end between 2:30 and 4.

Walking/Hiking at your own risk. Please wear comfortable shoes and carry water. Please watch out for those Boston drivers – and let’s have some fun hiking and exploring Boston on foot!
