I’ve been going to Bella Sante in Lexington for years and enjoyed every experience, but the game changer was the day I was scheduled for a massage with Alvaro Sena Rosa. The gods must have been smiling upon me that day! In addition to being an incredibly skilled massage therapist, Alvaro is invested in his clients’ well-being. He knows I need the head rest tilted up so I don’t get stuffy, he knows the pressure I can tolerate, he even remembers what we talked about at our last visit! He will focus on pain points, but at the same time makes the experience so relaxing that I’m often a pile of mush by the finish. I just don’t want the massage to end and I often tease about hiding the little bell he rings when the treatment is over. I’ve been seeing Alvaro regularly for a couple of years now and this is the first time I’ve written a reivew - confession: I wanted to keep him for myself. But, I’m done being selfish - the world should know how amazing Alvaro is! P.S. Try the Himalayan Salt Ritual - the salt rocks take the massage to a whole other level! Their slight roughness feels great on the skin and apparently also provide mineral health benefits too! P.S.S. Bella Sante has done a great job instituting Covid regulations. I’ve been leaving my house only when absolutely necessary, so it took a real leap of faith for me to get a massage during a pandemic. I returned when they opened in August 2020 and feel very safe there. Thank goodness, because my back was killing me!

Site of the first battle between the Minutemen and the Redcoats during the Revolutionary War.
Reviewed By SneakinDeacon - Christiansburg, United States
Our Bus Tour of New England stopped here and were were able to visit the site where the American Patriots first faced off with the British Red Coats. Our tour group had the service of a local guide who explained just what happened here in 1775, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The guide also pointed out the houses and building that were standing at the time of the skirmish. The actual Lexington Green is an open park that has the Minuteman Statue standing at one end. At the other is a Monument where the remains of those patriots who were killed are buried. Located adjacent to the Green is Buckman Tavern, which dates back to 1709 and is where the Lexington Minutemen assembled on April 19, 1775 before confronting the Red Coats. The Lexington Green and surrounding area is a must stop for anyone who enjoys history.

Wilson Farm is one fantastic farm stand - but the farm stand category is a bit misleading. Yes, it is a farm, and many call it a stand, but it is ever so much more than that. Wilson’s has all of the fruits and vegetables that one would expect, plus many that are usually found only in the largest of organic markets. And if you don’t want to wash and cut your fruits, they have cut-up fruits galore. Wlson’s also has a broad selection of high-end meats and poultry—but if you don’t like to cook, they have a wide selection of prepared meals - and sides - packaged for one or two people. Add to that a full bakery, shelves stocked with all sorts of grocery items, a full dairy case - it is joked that the only thing Wilson’s doesn’t have is toilet paper! Finally, many - maybe most - weekends there is a “festival,” be it corn, or tomatoes, or chocolate, or any number of epicurean delights to tease the palate. A great place to shop - or just visit.
