A Day in Boston

What can I say about Boston?   It was a great experience.  I wish I had visited sooner.   Although we only spent 2 nights and a full day here we saw and walked a lot.  The freedom trail should be on everyone’s bucket list.  A 2.5 mile is a walk through American History.  The Paul Revers house, the site of the Boston Massacre, Bunker Hill, the USS Constitution it’s all here and more.

The city is much different now that the big dig is over with.  All of the freeways have been moved underneath the city.  This gives the city a park-like atmosphere.  It is hard to imagine what it was like when those freeways were above ground.   

We stayed right across from Faneuil Hall where Samuel Adams read the Declaration of Independence on 18 July 1776.  Near the Union Oyster House a restaurant that opened in 1826 and the Tavern across the street in continues operation since 1795. The Faneuil Quincy Market is a large open-air Mall with a great food court surrounded by modern shops. 

Man do they love there Cannoli’s after dinner at Durgin Park we walked up Hanover street in the heart of little Italy.  The line to Mikes Pastry was out the door and halfway down the block.  

We must get back here and see more of the city.  It was a great time we must come back for a Sox’s game at Fenway.  Oh so much to do so little time.
