The Freedom Trail - part one

If you want to see the main historical sites in Boston, you would follow the Freedom Trail. This is an easy walk of about 90 minutes. We cheated and took the hop on, hop off Trolley between stops, but always found the Freedom Trail at every major site.

It looks like this and is very easy to follow because it is so clearly marked.

On our walk to Bunker Hill, which is a slight incline, an ice cream truck was waiting displaying this sign: Ice Kold Watta. No Rs in Boston, but I don't know why the word cold is spelled with a K.
HH in front of the Bunker Hill Monument. It is really located on Breeder's Hill, but the history books got it wrong long ago and the name stuck. Bunker Hill is down the road. We lost this battle, but it was significant because we really wounded them and probably would have won if we hadn't run out of ammunition.

This is a beautiful view of the Customs House. We could see this building from our hotel.

Quincy Market, now a food hall surrounded by uptown, chic shopping. By the time we reached here it was lunch time and as we were walking through, everything smelled delicious. We had a slice of pizza and Indian Food. They both smelled so good and we couldn't make up our mind, so we shared and it turned out to be really good.

Faneuil Hall

Now a touristy shopping place downstairs, but upstairs, are the meeting rooms where great speeches and plans were made by our Founding Fathers.

This is inside Boston Public Garden. I don't know the name of the church that is on that corner, but it sure is pretty.

The statue of George Washington in BPG.

This is the pretty little lake in BPG. The wind was blowing really hard on that day, so the lake looks a little choppy and the famous Swan Boats were not running.

A nice passerby offered to take our picture. Turned out pretty good even though the wind is blowing so hard.
