Had a great day out. We thought it would be best to get the train but our hosts assured us it would be easier to drive, which it was. And quite fun driving around Boston and especially in the rush hour coming home. And it only took about an hour.
Anyway, a good start was to book on a walking tour around the historic trail. Our guide was terrific.
She confirmed that she is indeed an actor, and effectively we were treated to a thoroughly entertaining and informative 1.5 hours. That gave us a sense of the history, which we didn’t really know, and where we were.
Few photos of famous Boston sites:
Samuel Adams’ (signed the Declaration of Independence) grave.
Site of the Boston massacre.
Old City Hall – really is gold leaf on the roof.
And because we were there, had to take a short trip out to Harvard.
… pretending to be an alumna!
Food was up to scratch. An amazing food hall which meant we had Japanese for lunch, then lobster soup, Mexican and Chinese for dinner. Passed over Greek, Italian, American fried etc.
And finally, for those of you who can recall the Boston sitcom, Cheers, here’s the bar.
