We walked every foot of the Freedom Trail…backwards: Bunker Hill to the State House and Boston Commons. It was a cool way to take in lots of history plus it walked us right through North Boston and the Italian restaurant district just in time for a delicious lunch!

The USS Constitution and its museum were the best stop. There was even a Fife and Drum Corp performance by a group from Virginia. The 294 step, continuously narrowing, granite spiral staircase up the center of the Bunker Hill Monument was pretty memorable too.

A man with a really cool crank organ and a cute puppy curled up on the bench beside him. Street dancing…they used to call it break dancing but I’m not sure what its call nowadays. Bagpipers along the sidewalk playing to pay off school loans!

Ice Cold Wadda. Delicious Chowda.
Between the accents and the traffic there is no doubt, we are in Boston.
