In the 19th century, certain people were known as great "pedestrians"--for the long walks they would take. Charles Sumner, I've heard, was one (before being caned slowed him down). Henry Thoreau, whose 200th birthday is this week, wrote an essay on "Walking," in which he came up with a fictitious etymology for the word "sauntering," as being from "saint terrer"--someone heading to the Holy Land, where he thought everyone should try to go wherever they walk. And he also said, in _Walden_, that "I have traveled a good deal in Concord."
You are a great pedestrian. You should publish a book of your Boston sauntering travelogues.
