We were met with this view after we got off the T. It's pretty typical of what we saw in downtown. The city has been built around some great historical buildings. The mix of high rise buildings and small brick structures is amazing.
We visited the old state house where the colonial government was seated and where the revolutionaries met to talk politics. Again is sits right in the middle of skyscrapers.
We toured Paul Revere's house. It's the one he actually lived in with his family during the revolution and from where he departed for his "midnight ride"
On the way back to Plymouth we stopped at the JFK library and museum for a couple of hours. It's an interesting place to visit and gives insight into the events leading up to and during his presidency. This view met us as we left the building and headed home. It was a long but fun day in Boston. Today we drive to Lexington and Concord to see the Minute man national park where the first shots of the war were fired. More tomorrow.
