After a relatively painless flight, we arrived at our hotel in Boston at 8:30 am today. We had a delicious big breakfast at the Pour House and immediately set out to the Freedom Trail. We did about half of the Trail, then checked into our room and took a nice long nap. For dinner we ventured out to the Waterfront and had seafood.
Dale's highlights of the day: Granary Burying Ground had lots of interesting grave sites. The city is a great mix of old and new architecture. And while sitting in the sun outside the Old State House, we saw a male pigeon strutting his stuff for some rather unimpressed female pigeons.
Elaine's highlights of the day: Sitting in the Public Gardens watching people walk around was wonderful. In the Old South Meeting house we learned that a KKK speaker and a birth control advocate speaker were equally offensive and censored in the 1920's. And the great thing about the city is that the skyscrapers are all different and unique.

I forgot to tell you that if you get the chance to make a trek to Quincy Market, near the Harbor. There are lots of shops (kind of expensive) and a great big place with lots of different kinds of food. You will love it. It's one of my favorite places.
Glad you are having fun, so far.
Love you.
To the owner of this blog, how far youve come?
