Boston

Spent last couple of days in Boston, really enjoyd the city. We have been catching the bus in from Marblehead which takes about an hour and then using the subway to get around.

The first day was a bit miserable with lots of rain and wind. After getting our bearngs we did the Boston Aquariam and saw an IMAX film in 3D. Both were very good with Allison not wanting to leave. We then caught the subway to Fenway Park the home of the Boston Red Sox, Fenway is the oldest baseball park in the US, turning 100 next year. We did the tour and enjoyed it.

Woke up the next morning, still a little overcast but the weatherman said it would fine up and it did. Spent the morning in the Cambridge disrict and visited Harvard University campus. Like all of Boston, the area is full of history to do with the war of indepnedance. Cambridge was the area that George Washington organised his army to take on the British.

Then spend the afternoon walking the Freedom Trail. Boston was the start of the revolution and there is a trail that takes you through all the hotspots that lead to the revolution, Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere's Midnight Run as examples. We both found it very interesting.

Boston is a very interesting city and you could spend longer but we will move on tomorrow as we now have only a week left.
