Boston's Freedom Trail, 2

More from our day on Boston's Freedom Trail...

Outside the old state house, site of the 1770 Boston Massacre



Old state house

Moving right along, but still in the realm of heritage

Outside Faneuil Hall, the "Cradle of Liberty," with its
statue of Sam Adams

Would that more cities have these warnings

The sizeable Quincy Market, America's oldest market; alas, mostly
touristy crap, over-priced food

But interesting sculpture outside; part of Gillie and Marc's New England Zoo

More about them

A bit of the skyline

Rotunda inside the Market; 1828

Makes Disney look like a real bargain





































































































































































Paul Revere House







Moving right along, in the North End now, but could 
have been--take away the ugly fire escapes--in Barcelona

Helpful model; the Italian part of town

My artsy-fartsy masterpiece: the Midnight Rider with the
Old North Church in the background

Really divine North End pizza?


Not a new sentiment around here


No end to the cemeteries

So we got as far as the river, within sight of the USS Constitution and the
Bunker Hill Monument...but decided we'd sort of already gotten the gist of
the rest of it and it was time to head back to the hotel; an interesting walk,
well worth the time

Loved going on this walk many years ago. Thanks for revisiting it for me!
