Boston part 3

We road the Beantown trolley again, but this time went all the way around the tour before getting off.
This is a shot of the Cheers bar that the show got it's inspiration from. We didn't get a drink here :(


Some of the gorgeous housing...I think in the Beacon Hill area...very expensive.
This is a cathedral with really pretty architecture, but I don't recall what it is named.
The big green monster, Fenway Park.
This is the spot of the Boston Tea Party. Not too much marking it's commemoration.
This is Faneuil Hall. Called the cradle of Liberty and was the site for many patriotic revolutionary meetings and many meetings since.

Here's Sawyer outside Quincy Market. There were three buildings like this filled with food and shops. It was kind of Pike's Place Market-y but not as many fish and flowers, and more food shops. It was a little crowded, but I got some yummy mac & cheese and a whoopie pie! Oh and can you see the Bruins sign, they just won the Stanley cup so people here are a little excited. Luckily we'll miss the big parade.

Paul Revere's House.
Walking along the Freedom Trail.

A statue of Paul Revere, and in the over-exposed background is the Old North Church (one if by land, two if by sea).

Inside the Old North Church. They had family pews that you had to rent back then. Can you imagine having to pay to go to church!

Phew! Our Boston list got pretty much done. Now we are heading back home to Connecticut! Tomorrow we go to WICKED!
