Busy in Boston

Boston is a very easy city to move around in! There is a great subway system and most of the attractions in downtown Boston are within walking distance of each other. We walked all around Fenway Park, but did not have time to go inside for the tour.  We went to the pub that looks out across the field though, and they let us go in and have a quick peek at the field.

This mosaic lies on the site of the first public school in America.  Ben Franklin and John Hancock were both students there.

There are so many historical sites in this city, and most can be found by walking along a path of red bricks set into the sidewalk, called the Freedom Trail.  They lead you to cemeteries with headstones from the 1600's, churches and meeting houses, Paul Revere's house, and more, most found  among the office buildings and stores in the centre of town.

The rainy and cold weather did not help the enjoyment of it all, but it was still great!
