Jay and I toured the Freedom Trail today. We saw every site along the trail - it's so rich in history - truly awesome. My favorite part was Paul Revere's house and the North End - Italian restaurants and cobblestone - hello that is Fantastic! I just want to know how horses and carriages navigated that cobblestone without breaking their legs or wheels? And who the heck laid out all those bricks? Talk about hardwork grandeous! Jay really liked the north end as well and the birds eating fish at the charles river.
I won't bore you with all the details of each site you can read about it online I'm sure. But here's some of the pictures we took...

Bunker Hill and a cannon in the Boston Naval Yard

One of my students spent a week last summer in Boston and saw all kinds of historic places. She often talks about it when we are doing American Lit. I would love to go visit there sometime.
